Learning Objectives: 9.7 Solving Linear Inequalities 1. Graph inequalities on a number line. 2. Use the addition property of inequality to solve inequalities. 3. Use the multiplication property of inequality to solve inequalities. 4. Use both properties to solve inequalities. 5. Solve problems modeled by inequalities. 6. Key Vocabulary: inequality, <, < , > , > , addition property of inequality, multiplication property of inequality, at least, no less than, at most, no more than, is less than, is greater than. A. Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line Inequality—is an algebraic expression that contains <, < , > , > symbols. Example1. Graph each inequality on a number line. 1. x ≥ −5 -2 02 -6 -4 4 6 3 2. − 2 > m -2 02 -6 -4 4 6 3. − 5 < x ≤ 0 -2 02 -6 -4 4 6 B. Solving the Inequalities using the Addition and Multiplication Property of Inequality Properties of Inequalities—Let a, b and c be real numbers, then 1. Addition Property: If ab, then a+c >b+c. 2. Positive Multiplication Property: (c is positive) If a b, then ac > bc. 3. Negative Multiplication Property: (c is negative) If a bc and If a > b, then ac < bc. TIPS: If multiply or divide by a negative number, the inequality sign change to opposite. Example 2. Solve each inequality. Graph the solution set. 3 1. −2x≤9 -2 02 -6 -4 4 6 () −18 y−2 ≥−21y+24 2. -2 0 2 -6 -4 4 6 8 1 ()() 3. 21 x + 2 > 7 x +3 -2 0 2 -6 -4 4 6 C. Solving Applications Involving Inequalities Key words: Is less than means < At most means ≤ Is greater than means > At least means ≥ No more than means ≤ Not equal to means ≠ Is less than or equal to means ≤ Is greater than or equal to means ≥ Example 2. Solve the following. 1. Eight more than twice a number is less than negative twelve. Find all numbers that make this statement true. 2. One side of a triangle is six times as long as another side, and the third side is 8 inches long. If the perimeter can be no more than 106 inches, find the maximum lengths of the other two sides.
