Word Phrases Meaning Symbol An inequality states that two quantities either are not equal or may not be equal. An inequality uses one of the following symbols: ≥ ≤ > < Word Phrases Meaning Symbol is less than Fewer than, below is greater than More than, above is less than or equal to At most, no more than is greater than or equal to At least, no less than

Additional Example 1: Writing Inequalities Write an inequality for each situation. A. There are at least 15 people in the waiting room. “At least” means greater than or equal to. number of people ≥ 15 B. The tram attendant will allow no more than 60 people on the tram. “No more than” means less than or equal to. number of people ≤ 60

Check It Out: Example 1 Write an inequality for each situation. A. There are at most 10 gallons of gas in the tank. “At most” means less than or equal to. gallons of gas ≤ 10 B. There is at least 10 yards of fabric left. “At least” means greater than or equal to. yards of fabric ≥ 10

An inequality that contains a variable is an algebraic inequality An inequality that contains a variable is an algebraic inequality. A value of the variable that makes the inequality true is a solution of the inequality. An inequality may have more than one solution. Together, all of the solutions are called the solution set. You can graph the solutions of an inequality on a number line. If the variable is “greater than” or “less than” a number, then that number is indicated with an open circle.

a > 5 b ≤ 3 This open circle shows that 5 is not a solution. If the variable is “greater than or equal to” or “less than or equal to” a number, that number is indicated with a closed circle. This closed circle shows that 3 is a solution. b ≤ 3

Additional Example 2: Graphing Simple Inequalities Graph each inequality. A. n < 3 3 is not a solution, so draw an open circle at 3. Shade the line to the left of 3. –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 B. a ≥ –4 –4 is a solution, so draw a closed circle at –4. Shade the line to the right of –4. –6 –4 –2 0 2 4 6

draw a closed circle at 2. Shade the line to the left of 2. Check It Out: Example 2 Graph each inequality. A. p ≤ 2 2 is a solution, so draw a closed circle at 2. Shade the line to the left of 2. –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 B. e > –2 –2 is not a solution, so draw an open circle at –2. Shade the line to the right of –2. –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3

x is either greater than 3 or less than–1. A compound inequality is the result of combining two inequalities. The words and and or are used to describe how the two parts are related. x > 3 or x < –1 –2 < y and y < 4 x is either greater than 3 or less than–1. y is both greater than –2 and less than 4. y is between –2 and 4. The compound inequality –2 < y and y < 4 can be written as –2 < y < 4. Writing Math

Additional Example 3A: Graphing Compound Inequalities Graph each compound inequality. m ≤ –2 or m > 1 First graph each inequality separately. m ≤ –2 m > 1 • 2 4 6 – 2 4 6 –2 –4 –6 º Then combine the graphs. 1 2 3 4 5 6 – The solutions of m ≤ –2 or m > 1 are the combined solutions of m ≤ –2 or m > 1.

Additional Example 3B: Graphing Compound Inequalities Graph each compound inequality –3 < b ≤ 0 –3 < b ≤ 0 can be written as the inequalities –3 < b and b ≤ 0. Graph each inequality separately. –3 < b b ≤ 0 • 2 4 6 –2 –4 –6 º 2 4 6 – Then combine the graphs. Remember that –3 < b ≤ 0 means that b is between –3 and 0, and includes 0. 1 2 3 4 5 6 –

–3 < b is the same as b > –3. Reading Math
