Graph Inequalities on a Number Line SWBAT use a replacement set to identify the solution set of an inequality; graph the solution set of an inequality on a number line; write an inequality that describes a given graph
Definitions Replacement set Solution set Empty set A set of numbers to be used as possible values for the variable in an equation or inequality Solution set Contains all the values for the variable that make the equation or inequality true Empty set A solution set that contains none of the numbers from the replacement set
Examples Inequality Replacement set Solution set y < 25 {24, 25, 26, …} x > 8 {0, 1, 2, 3, …} x ≤ 8 {4, 5, 6, 7, …} t ≥ 10 {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …} t ≤ 10 {…, 8, 9, 10} a < 0 {24} {9, 10, 11, 12, …} {4, 5, 6, 7, 8} {10, 11, 12, 13, …} {…8, 9, 10,} {}
Definitions Equivalent inequalities Graphing inequalities Inequalities that have the same solution set Graphing inequalities the number is NOT included in solution set, use with < or > the number IS included in the solution set, use with ≤ or ≥
Examples x > 4 9 ≤ x x ≤ 0 2> x
