Objectives
To solve and graph inequalities
To write and solve compound inequalities

An inequality is like an equation,

but instead of an equal sign (=) it
has one of these signs:
< : less than
: less than or equal to
> : greater than
: greater than or equal to

What do Inequalities mean?

A mathematical sentence that uses
one of the inequality symbols to
state the relationship between two
quantities.

Graphing Inequalities
When we graph an inequality on a number
line we use open and closed circles to
represent the number.

<

<

Plot an open circle

Plot a closed circle

x<5
means that whatever value x
has, it must be less than 5.
Try to name ten numbers that
are less than 5!

Numbers less than 5 are to the left

of 5 on the number line.

x -2
means that whatever value x has,
it must be greater than or equal
to -2.
Try to name ten numbers that are
greater than or equal to
-2

Numbers greater than -2 are to the

right of -2 on the number line.

Determine whether the equation is always,
sometimes or never true.
3(y + 3) + 5y = 4(2y + 1) + 5

Solving an Inequality
Follow the same rules and steps that
we used to solve an equation.
Use Dont Call Me After Midnight
