1. Mon, 2/22/10 SWBAT… solve inequalities using addition and subtraction
Agenda
WU (5 min)
Test results (10 min)
Solving inequalities – 5 examples (20 min)
Work on hw#1 (15 min)
Warm-Up:
1. Write hw in planner
2. Take out hw (back of last week’s agenda)
3. Set-up notes. Topic = Solving Inequalities by Addition and Subtraction
HW#1:Solving Inequalities by Addition and Subtraction 1

2. Phrases for Inequalities
<
> ≤ ≥

3. Phrases for Inequalities
<
> ≤ ≥
less than
fewer than
greater than
more than
at most, no more than, less than or equal to
at least, no less than greater than or equal to

4. Endpoints (when graphing on a number line)
<
> ≤ ≥
Circle
Dot

5. Directions: Solve the inequality
Directions: Solve the inequality. Then graph the solution on a number line.
Example 1: x – 12 ≥ 8
Example 2: d – 14 ≥ -19
Example 3: 22 > m – 8
(next slide)
Example 4: 3a + 6 ≤ 4a
Example 5: 9n – 1 < 10n
Example 6: Three more than a number is less than twice the number.
1.) x ≥ 20
2.) d ≥ -5
3.) m < 30
4.) a ≥ 6
5.) n > -1
6.) Let n = a number
3 + n < 2n (subtract n from both sides)
3 < n
n > 3

6. WARNING!!!!! (Example 3)
An equation such as x = 5 can be written as 5 = x (because of the Symmetric Property of Equality)
You CANNOT rewrite an inequality such as 3 > y as y > 3.
The inequality sign always points to the lesser value.
In 3 > y, it points to y, so to write the expression with y on the left, use y < 3.

7. A more concise way of writing a solution set is to use set-builder notation.
{x │x ≥ 20} is read the set of all numbers x such that x is greater than or equal to 20.

8. HW#2:Solving Inequalities by Multiplication and Division
Tues, 2/23/10 SWBAT… solve inequalities using multiplication and division
Agenda
WU (10 min)
Solving inequalities with multiplication and division
Warm-Up:
Write hw in planner
Set-up notes. Topic = Solving Inequalities by Multiplication and Division
Review hw#1
HW#2:Solving Inequalities by Multiplication and Division 8

9. Topic is “Solving Inequalities by Multiplication and Division”

10. One eighth times the number of students surveyed is less than 84
Of the students surveyed at LVLHS, fewer than eighty-four said they have never purchased an item online. This is about one eighth of those surveyed. How many students were surveyed?
Understand: You know the number of students who have never purchased an item online and the portion this is of the number of students surveyed.
Plan: Let n = the number of students surveyed. Write a sentence that represents this situation.
One eighth times the number of students surveyed is less than 84
1/8 ∙ n < 84
Solve: Solve for n
(8)1/8n < 84 (8)
n < 672
Check: To check, substitute a number less than 672 into the original inequality.
The solution set is {n│n < 672}. This means that there are fewer than 672 students who were surveyed at LVLHS.

11. Example 1: Example 2: Example 3: Example 4: -7d ≤ 147 1.) r > -49
2.) n > -48
3.) x > -18 (Do change the inequality sign)
4.) d ≥ -21

12. Wed, 2/23/10 SWBAT… solve inequalities using multiplication and division
Agenda
Review hw#2 (10 min)
Entry document – project (25 min)
Conference call with Michael at 10:50am (10 min)
Warm-Up:
Write hw in planner
Work on project!!!! Presentations are in class Friday!
HW#3 (both sides) -due Monday! 12

13. RATIONALE
If you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality symbol changes direction
7 > 4.5
7(-3) > 4.5(-3)
-21 > -13.5
NOT TRUE!
You must change the inequality symbol
-21 < -13.5

14. s = the number of students in a group 3 ≥ s ≥ 2
How many students can be in a group?

15. Michael will be here tomorrow to listen to your recommendations!
You will be graded on this mini-project based on the rubric (which Michael will complete)
PLEASE DON’T EMBARASS ME!!!!!!!!! 
