VOCABULARY
Linear inequality A linear inequality in one variable can be written in one of the following forms, where a and b are real numbers and a Þ 0: ax 1 b < 0, ax 1 b > 0, ax 1 b ≤ 0, ax 1 b ≥ 0.
Compound inequality Consists of two simple inequalities joined by "and" or "or"
Equivalent inequalities Inequalities that have the same solutions as the original inequality
Graph simple inequalities
Example 1
a. Graph x ≤ 4.
b. Graph x > 22.
Solution
a. The solutions are all real numbers less than or equal to 4.
