A compound Inequality is two or more
inequalities put into a single inequality.
greater than

greater than OR equal to

less than

less than OR equal to

Open Circle
Doesnt include the number, but it can be very
close


Closed Circle
Includes the number
The Difference between AND and OR
AND- means both numbers

OR- means either





*Helpful hint: when graphing if the equation has AND the line on the graph will
over lap, if the equation has OR the lines on the graph will go in the opposite
direction.

Example 1:
Solve and graph:
42x8



Graphing Compound Inequalities
Make two separate
inequalities.
42x



2x

2x8 Step 1:

Step 2:



Step 3:
Divide both
sides of the
inequality by
two.
x4
Divide both
sides of the
inequality by
two.
and
Graph the Inequality
Example 2:
-8<x<4

-8<x x<4

Graph the 2 equations



x is going to be between -8 and 4.


Split the
equation
into 2 parts
Now, you try
-9<x>7
-9<x x>7
