RATIONAL INEQUALITIES
NOTES
1 .Do not “cross multiply”
Rewrite the inequalities with 0 on the right and
use only addition or substraction to get an
equivalent inequality.
3 .Method to solve rational number :
Table of sign
EXAMPLE :
Instead,use table
of sign method
Rational inequalities
is an inequality that
contains a rational
expressions, which
is a fraction with a
variable in the
numerator and/or
denominator
It is a ratio of two
two polynomials
EASY MEMORY OF TABLE OF SIGN METHOD
numerator = 0
denominator = 0
Use table, take one value (plus 1 and minus 1) to determine the sign (example :
if x = 3 , we take 3+1=4 and 3-1=2)
the finale answer can be given in the form of interval notation
SOLVE BOTH!
