 Linear Inequalities in One Variable

• An
  inequality is a statement which compares two
expressions which are not equal.
• The inequality statements are less than and greater
than.
• The symbol commonly used are
< less than,
>- greater than,
Less than or equal to
- Greater than or equal
Equal to
Not equal to
 Examples

•  
1. Find the values for which
Solution

+5
(divide through by 4) =

3 4 5

The small circle on top of 4 is not shaded. This is because 4 is not among required value

2. Solve
Solution

(divide through by 4) 0 1 2 3 4
2

The small circle on top of 2 is shaded. This is because 2 is included in the required
value

 Solution Sets of Inequalities

•• Examples
 
1. Given that is an integer, find the lowest three values which satisfy the
inequality

Solution
15x
Multiply through by 15
3x3(x+2)-5(x+3) 15(x+5)

Note: when you divide by a negative sign, the inequality symbol is reverse

:. The three lowest values of are -6, -5, -4

 Example 2
• Find
  the solution set of the inequality
Solution

Collect like term

- (divide both side by -3)

• The solution set is (….-5, -6)
