• To identify an inequality.
• To classify inequalities as absolute or conditional.
• To use interval and set notation in writing solutions to
inequalities.
• To represent graphically the solution to inequalities.
• To apply intersection and union concepts in solving compound
inequalities.
• To solve linear and fractional inequalities.
• Understand that linear inequalities have one solution, no
solution, or an interval solution.
DEFINITION Week 5 Day 1
INEQUALITIES
Let a and b denote two real numbers such that the graph of a on
the number line is in the negative direction from the graph of b.
Then we say that a is less than b and b is greater than a, or, in
symbols:
a b or b a

SUMMARY Week 5 Day 1
STEPS:
1. Write inequality in standard form (zero on one side).
2. Identify zeros (factor if possible otherwise use quadratic formula)
3. Draw the number line with zeros labeled.
4. Determine the sign of the polynomial in each interval.
5. Identify which interval(s) make the inequality true.
6. Write the solution in interval notation.
Week 5 Day 2
SOLVING QUADRATIC INEQUALITY
Common mistakes:
Taking the square root of both sides.
Dividing both sides by the variable (x).
Week 5 Day 2
SOLVING QUADRATIC INEQUALITY
Once expressions are combined into a single fraction the value that
make either the numerator or the denominator equal to zero divide
the number line into intervals.
Week 5 Day 2
SOLVING A RATIONAL INEQUALITY
STEPS:
1. Write inequality in standard form (zero on one side).
2. Identify zeros .
• Write as a single fraction
• Determine values that make the numerator or denominator
equal to zero
• Always exclude values that make the denominator = 0.
3. Draw the number line with zeros labeled.
4. Determine the sign of the polynomial in each interval.
5. Identify which interval(s) make the inequality true.
6. Write the solution in interval notation.

SUMMARY Week 5 Day 2
The following procedure can be used for solving polynomial and
rational inequalities.
1. Write inequality in standard form (zero on one side).
2. Determine the zeros; if it is a rational function, note the domain
restrictions.
• Polynomial Inequality
- Factor if possible, otherwise, use quadratic formula
•Rational Inequality
- Write as a single fraction
- Determine values that make the numerator or
denominator equal to zero
-Always exclude values that make the denominator = 0.
3. Draw the number line with zeros labeled.
4. Determine the sign of the polynomial in each interval.
5. Identify which interval(s) make the inequality true.
6. Write the solution in interval notation.
