    Maths - Inequalities Notes

    This document discusses different types of inequalities: 1) Basic inequalities follow the same rules as equations but the direction of the inequality is reversed when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. 2) Two-way inequalities treat each separate inequality as its own and show that ranges such as 1 < 2 < 3 are the same as 3 > 2 > 1. 3) Perfect square quadratic inequalities only contain (x)2 terms and can be solved directly. Non-perfect square types aim to first solve the quadratic equation and then draw a schematic parabola to determine the solution region based on whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative.

    Maths Inequalities

    1. Basic Theorem

    Notes

    This applies for all inequality signs. Give an example: 3 > 1 (true), 3+1 > 1+1 (true)

    2. Linear inequality
    A. Basic type Inequalities follow all the rules which apply for linear equations. However, when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality is reversed. Use true statement and show that is false, but is true. Examples. o Solve: , , ( ) ( , ) , , ( ) ,

    as a

    B. Two way inequalities Treat each inequality as a separate one. Show that: 1 < 2 < 3 is the same as 3 > 2 > 1: useful in questions that have answers in 5 > 1< <5 Examples. o Solve: , , ,

    > 1 and should be written as

    3. Quadratic inequality
    A. Perfect square type These will have only or ( ) in them. ( )

    Examples. o Solve: ( ( ) ) , ( ) , ( ) , ( ) ,
    ( )

    B. Non-perfect square types The aim is to solve the quadratic to find the solution. The inequality is then solved by drawing a schematic parabola. If (number in front of ) is positive, then concave up. If is negative, then concave down.
