Find the set of integers that is greater than 2 and less than 7 Find the set of integers that is greater than 2 or less than 7 How do the use of the words and or or change the way a solution set is determined?
3
Compound Inequality TWO inequalities joined by the word AND or the word OR.
4
The graph of the inequality with the word and contains the INTERSECTION of the graphs of the two inequalities that form the compound inequality. Graph the solution set of x 5
5
You can write a compound inequality involving the word and as a single inequality: You can read this as x is BETWEEN 5 and 10 INCLUSIVE. This means that the solutions INCLUDE both 5 and 10. The graph of a compound inequality with the word or contains THE UNION of the two inequalities that form the compound inequality.
6
Graph the solution set of x 8
7
Examples: What compound inequality represents the following phrase? Graph the solutions. 1) all real numbers that are greater than 1 and less than 5: 2) all real numbers that are less than 10 or greater than 15 :
8
Writing and Solving a Compound Inequality: Writing and solving an inequality using the word and: Work on all three parts of the inequality at the SAME time.
9
Example: What are the solutions of -2 < x +2 < 5 ? Graph the solutions.
10
To solve a compound inequality involving or, you must solve BOTH the two inequalities that form the compound inequality. Example: What are the solutions toor Graph the solutions.
11
Write a compound inequality that each graph could represent.
