DEFINITION

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 statement that one quantity is greater than or less than another quantity is called an INEQUALITY.

Week 5 Day 1

KINDS OF INEQUALITIES

• Absolute inequalities are inequalities which is true for all values of x.

Example: x1x

• Conditional inequalities are inequalities which is true for certain values of x.

Example: 51x

Week 5 Day 1

Infinity is not a number. It is a symbol that means continuing indefinitely to the right on the number line.

Negative infinity means continuing indefinitely to the left on

the number line.

In interval notation, the lower number is always written on the left.

A statement formed by joining two clauses with the word and is called a conjunction. For a conjunction to be true, both clauses must be true.

A statement formed by joining two clauses with the word or is called a disjunction. For a disjunction to be true, at least one of the clauses must be true.

Week 5 Day 1

SOLVING LINEAR INEQUALITIES

Linear inequalities are solved using the same procedure as linear equations with the following exception:

When you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.

Cross multiplication cannot be used with inequalities.

SUMMARY

The solution to linear inequalities are solution sets that can be expressed in four ways:

1. Inequality notation2.Set Notation3.Interval Notation4.Graph (number line)

Linear inequalities are solved using the same procedures as linear equations with the following exception:

1. when you multiply or divide by a negative number you must reverse the inequality sign2. cross multiplication cannot be used with inequalities.

TODAY’S OBJECTIVE

• To solve quadratic inequalities.• To solve polynomial inequalities.• To solve rational inequalities.• To solve absolute value inequalities• To solve application problems involving inequalities .

At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:

POLYNOMIAL INEQUALITIES

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.

Zeros of a polynomial are the values of x that make the polynomial equal to zero.These zeros divide the real number line into test intervals where the the value of the polynomial is either positive or negative.

Week 5 Day 2

SOLVING QUADRATIC INEQUALITY

Common mistakes:Taking the square root of both sides.Dividing both sides by the variable (x).

The square root method cannot be used for quadratic inequalities.

Dividing both sides by the variable (x) cannot be used for quadratic inequalities

SOLVING A RATIONAL INEQUALITY

A rational expression have numerators and denominators , thus the we have the following possible combinations:

, , ,

To solve rational inequalities we use a similar procedure for solving polynomial inequalities, with one exception. You must eliminate values for x that make the denominator equal to zero.

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 INEQUALITYSTEPS:

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.

SUMMARYThe 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.
