Unit Inequalities on a Number Line

Illustrate these inequalities on the number line and list the integer values which they satisfy each one. (a) (b) (c) ? ? ? Which integer values of x satisfy all three inequalities? ?

Unit Solving Linear Inequalities

Solve the following inequalities and illustrate each one on the number line (a) (b) (c) ?? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Unit Inequalities Involving Quadratic Terms

Solve the following inequalities and illustrate each one on the number line. (a) (b) (c) So either bothand i.e. and which means that Or bothand i.e. and which means that ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ?

Unit Graphical Approach

A In the diagram below, find the three inequalities which define the shaded region ? ? ? x y

B Find the region satisfied by the inequalities x y

Unit Linear Programming Problems

The shaded area in the diagram shows the solution of a set of inequalities in x and y. The variable x represents the number of boys in a cricket club and y represents the number of girls in the club. (a)State, using arguments based on the graph, whether the cricket club can have as members (i)10 boys and 5 girls(ii) 6 boys and 6 girls Solution (i) No, as point (10, 5) is not in the feasible region (ii) Yes, as point (6, 6) is in the feasible region ? ? ? ? x y

(b) Write down the set of THREE inequalities that define the shaded region ? ? ? x y

(c) A company sells unifroms for the club and makes a profit of $3.00 on a boys uniform and $5.00 on a girls uniform. (i)Write an expression in x and y that represents the total profit made by the company on the sales of uniforms. (ii)Calculate the minimum profit the company can make. Solution (i) ? ? (ii)Vertices of feasible region are Corresponding values of P are Minimum profit is at (1, 2) of value $13 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? x y
