Spaced Revision

Come back to Inequalities after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • < and > give strict inequalities.
  • ≤ and ≥ give slack inequalities.
  • A double inequality combines two comparisons.
  • Adding or subtracting the same number keeps the inequality direction.
  • Multiplying or dividing by a positive number keeps the direction.
  • Multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the direction.
  • First simplify to the form x < a, x ≤ a, x > a, or x ≥ a.
  • Always check the domain of the variable.
  • Integer, whole-number, natural-number, and real-number solutions can be different.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number keeps the sign unchanged.

For a compound inequality with 'or', the answer is the more restrictive interval.

For a compound inequality with 'and', the answer is the wider interval or the union of both parts.
