10. Solving Inequalities Notes Step #1: Find Vertex Step #2: Find which way parabola opens Step #3: Find y-intercept (and symmetrical point) Step #4: Sketch the parabola (solid or dashed?) Step #5: Shade above or below the parabola. at “A” at “C”

11. ~Try It~ Step #1: Find Vertex Step #2: Find Direction Step #3: Find y-intercept Step #4: Sketch Step #5: Shade Opens Down Y-intercept = 3 Symmetrical? Greater=Above

12. ~Try It~ Step #1: Find Vertex Step #2: Find Direction Step #3: Find y-intercept Step #4: Sketch Step #5: Shade Opens Up Y-intercept = 8 Symmetrical? Greater=Above

13. ~Try It~ Step #1: Find Vertex Step #2: Find Direction Step #3: Find y-intercept Step #4: Sketch Step #5: Shade Opens UP Y-intercept = -8 Symmetrical? Less = Above
