Properties of Inequalities

This document defines inequalities and describes their properties and types. It states that an inequality expresses a relationship of greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to between quantities. It outlines properties like transitivity and additivity for inequalities. It also describes linear inequalities that take the form of ax + b <, >, ≤, or ≥ 0 and quadratic and rational inequalities.

7 Inequalities Definition: An inequality is that expression says greater than (or equal) or less than (or equal) Properties of Inequalities: Let a, b and c be real numbers then: 1. If a < b and If a > b and 2. If a < b , If a > b , 3. If a < b , b<c b >c then a < c Transitivity then a > c

then ac < b c Additivity then ac > b c then a.c < b.c a.c > b.c a.c > b.c a.c < b.c if c>0 if c<0

4. If a>b , then

if c>0 if c<0

Linear Inequalities It takes the form

ax+b <0 >0 0 0

Quadratic Inequalities It takes the form >0 0 0

Rational Inequalities It has one or more rational expressions Example: k Solution:

for this to happen K+2<0

then

k<-2

So

(-,-2)
