Chapter 11.1 Solving Simple Inequalities
1. Idea of inequality
- An inequality is a statement that indicates that one quantity is less than or greater than another. You can write inequalities using symbols such as ” <“, “> “, “<=”, or “>=”.
- 3x < 10
- x < 10/3 All values of x that satisfy the inequality above are called the solutions of the inequality.
2. Solving an inequality
- In class, explore the properties of simple inequalities.
- If a > b and k > 0, then ka > kb
- if a < b, and k > 0, then ka < kb
- Lot’s of examples and exencise in class.
