6.1 Solving Inequalities pg.276 to 281

Review examples.....

Solving inequalities is EASY....

ALL you have to do is "pretend" it is a regular equation and you are solving for a variable.

-ONLY difference is that there is not = but you do have a n inequality sign in it's place

Don't forget your inequality signs.....

< ><>

Try some....

Try again BUT....-What do you notice about the inequality sign?

When you DIVIDE or MULTIPLY by a negavtive number the inequality FLIPS!!

BY THE WAY DO NOT forget that the inquality must be on the left!

IN addition to writing inequalities...

YOU will have to graph themHOWEVER-you are graphing on a NUMBER LINE--Not a

coordinate plane

There are tricks to graphing-1. You will have to locate the "answer" on the number line2. PUT an empty circle over the number if you have a < or > sign3. Put a filled in circle over number if you have a < or > sign4. SHADE in the side of the graph that fits the statement

EX.x > 4, open circle

shaded to the right of 4

Try some and graph them......

Sometimes they will give you a graph and you have to write the inequality

ex.

Try some.....

To some up.....

1. Divide or multipy by negative....

2. Open circle on graph.....

3. Closed circle on graph.....

4. Variable to the ........
