Inequalities and Their Graphs

Topics for Today:

We moved on to Chapter 3 today.  Our discussion has moved from equations where both sides are equal, to inequalities where one side is larger or smaller than the other.  We also discussed the difference between solutions where the endpoint is included vs excluded and explored the graphs of inequalities.  A solution to an inequality is any value that will make the inequality true.  Inequalities differ from equations because inequalities often have infinite solutions that are bound by a particular value whereas equations typically have a finite solution set.


Vocabulary: inequality, solution to an inequality
