1. Graphing & Solving Quadratic Inequalities 5.7 What is different in the graphing process of an equality and an inequality? How can you check the x-intercepts of a quadratic equation or inequality? Why is it important to test 3 intervals after you have found the critical x values?

2. There are four types of quadratic inequalities in two variables. y < ax 2 + bx + c y ≤ ax 2 + bx + c y > ax 2 + bx + c y ≥ ax 2 + bx + c

3. Graphing a Quadratic Inequality in Two Variables 1. Draw the parabola. (Find vertex coordinates x=b/2a and substitute into the equation to find y. Then find one more point to draw the parabola.) Make the parabola dashed for inequalities with and solid for inequalities with≤ or ≥. 2. Choose a point (x,y) inside the parabola and check whether the point is a solution of the inequality. 3. If the point form step 2 is a solution, shade the region inside the parabola. If it is not a solution, shade the region outside of the parabola.

4. y > x 2 − 2x − 3 x = − b / 2a = y =

5. Graphing a System of Quadratic Inequalities y ≥ x 2 −4 y< −x 2 −x +2 x = − b / 2a = y= x=− b / 2a = y=

6. Solving a Quadratic Inequality by Graphing (Looking for x intercepts) x 2 − 6x + 5 < 0. Let y = 0 and factor to solve. (x−1)(x−5) = 0 x = 1 or x = 5 Solution 1<x<5

7. Solving a Quadratic Inequality by Graphing 2x 2 + 3x− 3 ≥ 0 (Use quadratic formula to factor.) 0.69 or −2.19

8. Solving a Quadratic Inequality Algebraically x 2 + 2x ≤ 8 x 2 + 2x − 8 =0 (x+4)(x−2)=0 x=−4 or x=2 012−1−2−3−4 Test x = −5 in the equation Test x = 0 in the equation Test x = 3 in the equation Solution is −4 ≤ x ≤ 2

9. What is different in the graphing process of an equality and an inequality? If the equation is > or <, the parabola is dashed. Either the inside or the outside of the parabola is shaded. Pick a point not on the parabola and see if it makes a true statement. If true, shade where the point is located. If not, shade the other area.
