Sec 2 - 8: Graphing and Writing Inequalities

Objectives:
1) To graph inequalities.
2) To write inequalities.
Vocabulary -

Inequality – A mathematical sentence that contains <,

>, ≤, ≥, or ≠ is an inequality.

Solution of an Inequality – Any value that makes an

inequality true.
Ex 1) Identifying Solutions of an Inequality

Find whether each number is a solution of

X ≤ 2: -3, 0, 2, 4, and 5

-3 ≤ 2
-True

0≤2
-True

2≤2
-True

4≤2
-False

5≤2
-False
Check Understanding: Example 1
Which numbers are solutions of each inequality?

a) m ≥ -3: -8, -2, 1

 -2 and 1 are solutions

b) w < -4: -6, -4, -1, 2

 -6 is a solution

c) Reasoning Is -4 ≥ -4? Explain.

 Yes: -4 = -4
Ex 2) Graphing Inequalities
Graph the solution of each inequality.

a) n ≥ -3

b) x ≤ -1

c) p > -2

d) h<7
 Check Understanding: Example 2

Graph the solution of each inequality.

a) x≤5

b) w < -3

c) y > -4

d) g≥1
 Ex 3) Writing Inequalities

b)
Ex 4) Real-World Problem Solving

Nutrition To be labeled sugar-free, a food

product must contain less than 0.5 g of sugar
per serving. Write an inequality to describe
this requirement.
Check Understanding: Example 3

Write an inequality for “To qualify for the

race, your time can be at most 32 seconds.”
