Summative Assessment for Criterion B:

MYP: Year 2 - Algebra Codes

Question: How can you use a table to solve an inequality?
STEP 1: Use a table to solve the inequality x + 4 3x Complete the table.

x -1 0 1 2 3 4 7 8 6 5

x+4 3 4 3 6 9 12

3x -3 0

Is x + 4 > 3x Yes yes yes yes no no

STEP 2: Find values of x Find the values of x that make the inequality in Step 1 true. What do you think is the solution of the inequality? 2,1,0,-1,-2 Explain your reasoning. (Try to make the explanation detailed and clear. 2,1,0,-1,-2 all make sense in this inequality because three and all numbers above do not work at all but every single negative number up till - infinity. e.g. 4+-100= -96 but 3*-100= -300 so -96 is greater than/equal to -300. then the proof that all numbers over 3 will not work is right here 4+4 =8 and 3* 4=12 8 is not greater than or equal to 12. by the way * means multiplied.

STEP 3 Use a table to solve the inequality 4x + 3 > 9x 7 Complete the table.

x -1 0 1 2 3 4 3 7 11 15 i9

4x + 3 -1 -7 2 1! 2o 29

9x - 7 -16 y3s ye5 no n0 no

Is 4x + 3 > 9x - 7 Yes

STEP 4: Find values of x Find the values of x that make the inequality in Step 3 true. What do you think is the solution of the inequality? the solution is anything below 1 that includes all negative numbers. Explain your reasoning. my reasoning is what I am going to show now (4*-100) + 3 >( 9*100) 7=-400+3>-900=-397>-900 and the proof that numbers over 1 do not work (4*2) + 3 >( 9*2) =11>18 no way that does not work. How is this solution different from the solution in Step 2? because step two is a different problem with a different solution STEP 5 Substitute a number less than 1 Determine if the inequalities in Steps 1 and 3 are true when you substitute a number less than 1 for x. Explain. yes they are true when you use a number less than negative 1 here is the reasoning for problem 1 -2 + 4 3*-2= 2 -6 that is true.in problem 3 this is the proof 4*-2 + 3 > 9*-27=-5>-25 and negative five is bigger than negative 25.

Please consider these questions when you are concluding your findings: Name 5 values that are true in both x + 4 > 3x and 4x + 3 > 9x - 7 At first glance, how can you tell that the solutions of x + 4 > 3x and x + 4 > 3x will be different? How do you test a given variable of an inequality? How do solutions of multi-step inequalities differ from solutions of multi-step equations?

You will be assessed summatively on Criterion B for this task. The rubric is detailed below.

Criterion B: Investigating patterns

0 12

The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below. The student applies, with some guidance, mathematical problem-solving techniques to recognize simple patterns. The student applies mathematical problemsolving techniques to recognize patterns, and suggests relationships or general rules. The student selects and applies mathematical problem-solving techniques to recognize patterns, describes them as relationships or general rules, and draws conclusions consistent with findings. The student selects and applies mathematical problem-solving techniques to recognize patterns, describes them as relationships or general rules, draws the correct conclusions consistent with the correct findings, and provides justifications or a proof.

Please aim to identify patterns and offer correct conclusions which provide justifications or a proof.

A justification gives valid reasons or evidence to support the conclusion and explain why the rule is valid. A proof is a mathematical demonstration of the truth of the relationship or general rule.
