LESSON:
Linear Inequalities: Graphing Inequalities

CONSISTS OF:
- Write linear inequalities to
  describe given graphs
- Graph linear inequalities

INFO:
Previously we have only seen inequalities on a number line:

x < 3

5 < x
  -

x < -2

These inequalities involve only a single variable.

This lesson introduces inequalities involving TWO VARIABLES

These inequalities will be graphed in a plane.

For y=3, this graph shows x>5.

Describe in your own words the graph of y<mx+b and the graph of y>mx+b. Then press ENTER.

The area below the line y=mx+b is the graph of y<mx+b. The area above the line y=mx+b is the graph of y>mx+b. Notice the from in which each inequality is written.

Before pressing ENTER, guess whether the graph of 2x+1<y is above or below the line 2x+1=y.

The shaded area above the line is the graph of 2x+1<y.

The inequality sign helps determine if the graph is above or below the line as long as the inequality is in the form y< or y> .

An additional method for deciding where the shade is by checking the points in the plane.

The point (3,9) satisfies the inequality 2x+1<y because:

2(3) + 1<9

To graph the inequality

y<(1/2)x+3

first graph the line

y=(1/2)x+3

then shade the area below the line.

LESSON:
Linear Inequalities: Systems of Inequalities

CONSISTS OF:
- Graph systems of inequalities
- Write compound algebraic
  sentences to desribe
  intersections or unions of
  simple inequalities

INFO:
The point (5,7) satisfies the compund sentence:

x>3 AND y>5

because
   5 is greater than 3 and
   7 is greater than 5.

The point (1,7) does NOT satisfy the compound sentence:

x>3 AND y>5

because
   1 is not greater than 3.

The point (5,2) does NOT satisfy the compound sentence:

x>3 AND y>5

because
   2 is not greater than 5.

The point (2,4) does NOT satisfy the compound sentence:

x>3 AND y>5

because
   2 is not greater than 3 and
   4 is not greater than 5.

The point (0,-3) satisfies the compound sentence:

x>3 OR y<-2

because
   -3 is less than -2.

The point (4,2) satisfies the compound sentence:

x>3 OR y<-2

because
   4 is greater than 3.

The point (6,-6) satisfies the compound sentence:

x>3 OR y<-2

because
   6 is greater than 3, and
   -6 is less than -2.

The point (0,5) does NOT satisfy compound sentence:

x>3 OR y<-2

because
   0 is not greater than 3 and
   5 is not less than -2.

The inequality desribing this shaded area is x>5.

The inequality describing this shaded area is y>8.

The compound sentence describing the double shaded area is:

y>5 AND y>8

The compound sentence describing the ENTIRE area is:

x>5 OR y>8

Before pressing ENTER think of a compound that desribes the double shaded area on the graph.

The intersection that describes the double shaded area is:

x>6 AND y>3

Think of a compound sentence that describes the entire shaded area on the graph. Then press ENTER.

The union that describes the enter shaded area is:

x>-1 OR y<2

The equation of this line is y=(2/3)x+4.

The inequality describing the shaded area is y>(2/3)x+4.

The equation fo the second line is y=(4/5)x+10.

The inequality describing the second shaded area is Y<(-4/5)x+10.

The compound sentence describing the DOUBLE shaded area is:

y>(2/3)x+4

AND

y<(-4/5)x+10

The compound sentence describing the ENTIRE shaded area is:

y>(2/3)x+4

OR

y<(-4/5)x+10

---

The DOUBLE shaded area is the INTERSECTION of the two inequalities.

The ENTIRE shaded area is the UNION of the two inequalities.

LESSON:
Linear Inequalities: Absolute Value

CONSISTS OF:
- Solve linear inequalities
- Solve and graph equations and
  inequalities involving absolute
  value

INFO:
|4|
stands for "the absolute value of four."

|-4|
stands for "the absolute value of -4."

|5|
stands for "the absolute value of five."

|-10|
stands for "the absolute value of -10."

The absolute value of a number gives its distance from zero on a number line...

   6 units
 <------------
<|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|>
 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

|-6| = 6

|5| = 5

|-4| = 4

|0| = 0

The absolute value of a number gives its distance from zero on a number line.

Before pressing ENTER, think of another way to describe absolute values of numbers.

The absolute value of a number always is POSITIVE: it gives the size of the number without regard to its sign (+ or -),

Two numbers satisfy this equation.

|x| = 7

They are 7 and -7.

Both are 7 units from 0 on a number line.

Using absolute values, the above two poinst can be described with a single equation:

|x| = 7

Both points are 7 units from 0 on a number line.

|11-4|

gives the distance between 11 and 4 on a number line. (7 units)

ANS:

11 , 8 , 7 , -11 , 11 , -8 , 8 , -15 , 15 , |x|=11 , |x|=8 , |x|=15 ,
