Topics in Inequalities
Core Ideas and Definitions
- An inequality shows that two expressions are not equal.
- An inequation is an inequality involving at least one variable.
- A linear inequation is an inequation with only one variable.
Properties of Inequations
- Adding the same number to each side of an inequation does not change the inequality.
- Subtracting the same number from each side of an inequation does not change the inequality.
- Multiplying each side by the same positive number does not change the inequality.
Replacement Set and Solution Set Examples
- For x ≤ 6, x ∈ N, the solution set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
- For x > 10, x ∈ N, the solution set is {11, 12, 13, 14, ...}.
- For y ≤ 3, y ∈ W, the solution set is {0, 1, 2, 3}.
Solving Inequations: Worked Examples
- Simplify both sides carefully.
- Use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to isolate the variable.
- Reverse the sign only for negative multiplication or division.
Key Concepts
Central concept: Inequalities are mathematical statements that compare two expressions using signs such as >, <, >=, and <=, and their solutions are found by using rules, replacement sets, solution sets, and number lines.
