WEEK ONE

TOPIC: LINEAR INEQUALITIES (Straight Line Graph)

LINEAR INEQUALITIES
There are different signs used in inequalities.
> Greater than
< Less than
≥ Greater or equal to
≤ Less or equal to
= Not equal to
Example 1
Consider a bus with x people in it.
(a)If there are 40 people then x= 40, this is an equation not inequality.
(b)If there are less than 30 people in the bus then x < 30 where < means less than ; this is an
inequality. It literally means that the no of people in the bus is not up to 30.

Example 2
Find the range of value of x for which
7x – 6 ≥ 15
7x ≥ 15 + 6
7 x ≥ 21
x≥ 3

Example 3:Solve the inequality


12x -7≥ 13 + 2x
12x-2x≥13+7
10x≥20
x≥2

Evaluation
Solve the inequalities
1. 3x -10 < 2
2.Given that x is an integer, find the three greatest values of x which satisfies the inequality
7x+15≥2x

Inequalities with Reversing Symbols


Anytime an inequality is divided or multiplied by a negative value, the symbol is reversed to
satisfy the inequality.

Example
Solve: 14- 2a < 4
- 2a < 4 – 14
- 2a < -10
Divide both sides by -2 and reverse the sign (symbols).
a > 5

Check:
If a > 5,then possible values of a are : 6,7,8,…
Substituting, a=6
14 - 2(6) < 4
14 -12 < 4
2 < 4

2 2 - 3x ≤ 2(1-x)
3
Multiply through by 3 or put the like terms together
2-9x≤6(1-x)
2 – 9x ≤6-6x
- 9x + 6x ≤ 6-2
- 3x ≤ 4
x ≥ - 4/3

Representing the Solutions of Inequalities on a Number Line and on Graphs.


Example
Represent the solutions (i) x ≥ 4 (ii) x < 3 on number line

(i) x
-1 0 4
(ii)
x
-1 0 3
Note: When it is greater than, the arrow points to the right and vice versa also when “or equal to”
is included, in the inequalities, the circle on top is shaded “o” and the “or equal to” is not
included the circle is opened “o”

GENERAL EVALUATION/REVISION QUESTIONS


1.Solve the inequality and sketch a number line graph for its solution
5x-3 – 1-2x ≤ 8 + x
2.If 3 + x ≤5 and 8 + x≥5,what range of values of x satisfies both inequalities?
3.On a Cartesian plane,sketch the region which represent the set of points for which
x<2 and y≥5
4. Solve the equation ( 6x-2 )/3=(5-3x)/4
5. Simplify (2a+b)2-(b-2a)2

WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT
Objectives
1.If x varies over the set of real numbers which of the following is illustrated below
