Inequalities


What comes in your mind after hearing those two-words? Have you learned about Linear Equation before? I guess YES!! Can you mention the differences between Linear Equation and Linear Inequalities?


Linear Equation
Linear Inequalities
The sign
=
<, <, >, >, and ≠
The solution
Only one solution
Ex: 2x + 4 = 6
2x + 4 – 4 = 6 -4
2x = 2 (divide both sides by 2)
x = 1
{x | x = 1, x Є R}
The solution is only 1.
More than one solution
Ex: 2x + 4 > 6
2x + 4 - 4 > 6 -4
2x > 2 (divide both sides by 2)
x > 1
{x | x > 1, x Є R}
The solutions are 2, 3, 4, etc.

       Can you find other differences? Do they have the common thing? To learn more about Linear Inequalities, you can refer to this file prezi presentation (click here). After that, you can download the worksheet (click here).
__HAPPY LEARNING__
