Slide1Solving Inequalities3-1 Exploring Inequalities and Their Graphs

Slide2An 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

Slide3“x < 5”means that whatever value  x has, it must be less than 5. Try to name ten numbers that are less than 5!

Slide4Numbers less than 5 are to the left of 5 on the number line. 0 5 10 15 -20 -15 -10 -5 -25 20 25 •   If you said 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, etc., you are right. •  There are also numbers in between the integers, like 2.5, 1/2, - 7.9, etc. • The number 5 would  not  be a correct answer, though, because 5 is not less than 5. • Because 5 is not part of the answer, we use an OPEN dot to represent when the number is not included.

Slide5“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!

Slide6Numbers greater than -2 are to theright  of -2 on the number line. 0 1 2 3 -4 -3 -2 -1 -5 4 5 •   If you said -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., you are right. •  There are also numbers in between the integers, like -1/2, 0.2, 3.1, 5.5,  etc • The number -2  would also  be a correct answer, because of the phrase, “or equal to”. • Because -2 is part of the answer, we use a CLOSED dot to represent when the number is included.

Slide7Where is -1.5 on the number line?Is it greater or less than -2? 0 1 2 3 -4 -3 -2 -1 -5 4 5 •  -1.5 is between -1 and -2. •  -1 is to the right of -2. •  So -1.5 GREATER than -2.

Slide8Solve an Inequality – Preview Tomorroww + 5 < 8 We will use the same steps that we did with equations, if a number is added to the variable, we add the opposite sign to both sides: w + 5 +  (-5)  < 8 +  (-5) w < 3 All numbers less than 3 are solutions to this problem!

Slide9Today’s SummaryWhy Graph Inequalities? Because there is more than one answer! If the answer IS equal to..Closed Dot If the answer ISN’T equal to...Open Dot
