Solving Inequalities
Trichotomey Property- For any two real numbers, a and b, exactly one of the following statements is true: a b. Set-Builder Notation- The expression of the solution set of an inequality, for example {x ∣x>9} Vocabulary
> = Greater Than < = Less Than ○ = Open Circle, used for Greater Than and Less Than, means the number on the number line that the circle is on is NOT a part of the solution ≥ = Greater Than or Equal To ≤ = Less Than or Equal To ● = Closed Circle, used for Greater Than or Equal To and Less Than or Equal To, means the number on the number line the circle is on IS a part of the solution Graphing on a Number Line
12 < X Flip the entire equation, including the inequality, around so that the variable is on the left. Notice the sign went from. If Variable is on Right Side of Equation
THE VARIABLE ALWAYS ENDS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INEQUALITY. #1 Rule on Graphing on a Number Line
Solve an Inequality Using +/-
