Inequalities
Inequalities
→ Information :-
a=b
a>b
a≥b
a<b
a≤b
If any 2 numbers connected by “= , >, ≥ , <, ≤ “ are called inequality.
→ Rule of inequality :-
Both sides of an inequality can have equal numbers added to (or taken from)
them without changing the sign of the inequality.
For example : x < 5 is same as x + 2 < 5 +2
Both sides of an inequality can be multiplied (or divided) by the same positive
number without affecting the sign of inequality.
For example : x - y < 3 is same as (x - y) * 2 < 3 * 2
However, the sign of inequality is flipped or reversed when both sides are
multiplied or divided by a negative value.
For example : x + y < 6 is same as (x - y) * -2 > 36 * -2
Reciprocal of the inequality will be same if they are of same sign and be
reversed if the if they are of same sign.
{
1 1
≥ , if a∧b are of opposite sign
a ≥ b a b
For example :
1 1
≤ ,if a∧b are of same sign
a b
a + b ≥ c + d = (a - d) ≥ (c - d)
a≥b→b≤a
a<b→a>b
