INEQUALITIESINEQUALITIES
Objective: To solve and graph inequalities containing “and” or
“or”.
Vocabulary
compound inequality – two inequalities joined by the word and or the word or
solution for and inequalities – (Intersection) any number that makes both inequalities true
solution for or inequalities – (Union) any number that makes either inequality true
STEPS for AND problems
1. Write the compound inequality as two inequalities joined by and.
2. Solve each inequality.
3. Simplify and write the solutions as one statement.
4. Graph the solution.
Translate the verbal phrase into an Translate the verbal phrase into an inequality. Then graph the inequality. Then graph the inequality.inequality.
a. All real numbers that are greater than – 2 and less than 3.
Inequality:
Graph:
b.All real numbers that are less than 0 or greater thanor equal to 2.
Inequality:
Graph:
– 2 < x < 3
x < 0 or x ≥ 2
d. All real numbers that are greater than or equal To –3 and less than 5.Inequality:
All real numbers that are less than –1 or greater thanor equal to 4.
c.
Inequality:
= –3 ≤ x < 5 x ≥ –3 and x < 5
x < –1 or x ≥ 4
Write and graph a real-world inequality:
A crane sits on top of a camera car and faces toward the front. The crane’s maximum height and minimum height above the ground are shown. Write and graph a compound inequality that describes the possible heights of the crane.
CAMERA CARSCAMERA CARS
Let h represent the height (in feet) of the crane. All possible heights are greater than or equal to 4 feet and less than or equal to 18 feet. So, the inequality is 4 ≤ h ≤ 18.
