Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Core Ideas and Types of Inequalities

  • An inequality is formed when two real numbers or two algebraic expressions are related by <, >, ≤, or ≥.
  • Examples of numerical inequalities: 3 < 5 and 7 > 5.
  • Examples of literal inequalities: x < 5, y > 2, x ≥ 3, y ≤ 4.

2. Rules for Solving Inequalities

  • Equal numbers may be added to or subtracted from both sides of an inequality without affecting the sign of inequality.
  • Both sides of an inequality can be multiplied or divided by the same positive number.
  • When both sides are multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality sign reverses.

3. Solving Linear Inequalities in One Variable

  • Start by simplifying both sides.
  • Move variable terms to one side and constants to the other using addition or subtraction.
  • If needed, divide by the coefficient of the variable.

4. Word Problems and Applications

  • Translate the statement into an inequality before solving.
  • Ravi’s spending leads to 30x < 200 because he buys only rice packets.
  • The solution set of 30x < 200 by trial and error over the given values is {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.
