INTRODUCTION TO LINEAR INEQUALITIES
Linear inequalities are the expressions where
any two values are compared by the
inequality symbols such as <,>, or
LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN ONE VARIABLE
It is written in the forms
ax + b < c , ax + b > c
ax + b c , ax + b c
where a,b and c are all real numbers
≥ ≤
≤^ ≥
1 .Numerical inequalities : 3 < 8
2. Literal inequalities : x > 3
two type of inequalities
SIMPLE SOLUTION OF INEQUALITIES
SIMILAR AS SOLVING LINEAR EQUATION
3x - 5 = 7 3x - 5 < 7
3x = 7+5 3x < 7 + 5
3x = 12 3x < 12
x = 4 x < 4
LINEAR INEQUALITIES
USING SYMBOLS OF
strict inequalities
slack inequalities
YOU CAN SIMPLY
SOLVE THE
INEQUALITIES
SIMILAR AS SOLVE
LINEAR EQUATION
In equalities, symbols of >,<, and are use
Numerical inequalities : compare between numbers (3<8)
Literal inequalities : show the relationship between algebraic
expressions (x>3)
SIMPLY SOLVE the inequalities as linear equation
≥ ≤
another case :
7 x + 13 < 2 x - 7
13 + 7 < 2 x - 7 x
20 < - 5 x
- 4 > x
The sign reverse
only if you multiply
or divide by a
negative number
