§ 2.9 Solving Linear Inequalities

Martin-Gay,Beginning Algebra, 5ed2 2 Linear Inequalities in One Variable Alinear inequality in one variableis an inequality that can be written in the form ax+b<c wherea,b, andcare real numbers andais not 0. This definition and all other definitions, properties and steps in this section also hold true for the inequality symbols >,≥, or≤.

Martin-Gay,Beginning Algebra, 5ed3 3 Graphing Solutions to Linear Inequalities • Use a number line. • Use a closed circle at the endpoint of an intervalif you want to include the point. • Use an open circle at the endpoint if you DO NOT want to include the point. 7 Represents the set {xx≤7}. -4 Represents the set {xx> – 4}. Solutions to Linear Inequalities Interval notation, is used to write solution sets of inequalities. • Use a parenthesis if you want to include the number • Use a bracket if you DO NOT want to include the number..
