Writing and Graphing Inequalities Two (Too)!

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols such as <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. For example, 5 > 3 means 5 is greater than 3.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. For example, 2 < 4 means 2 is less than 4.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. For example, x ≥ 5 means x is greater than or equal to 5.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean in an inequality?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. For example, y ≤ 3 means y is less than or equal to 3.

Front

How do you represent the inequality b ≤ 6 on a number line?

Back

You would use a closed circle at 6 and shade to the left, indicating all numbers less than or equal to 6.

Front

How do you represent the inequality b < 6 on a number line?

Back

You would use an open circle at 6 and shade to the left, indicating all numbers less than 6.

Front

What is the difference between an open circle and a closed circle on a number line?

Back

An open circle indicates that the number is not included (e.g., <), while a closed circle indicates that the number is included (e.g., ≤).

Front

Which graph represents the inequality 2 > p?

Back

The graph that shows all numbers less than 2, typically with an open circle at 2.

Front

Which graph represents the inequality x < -4?

Back

The graph that shows all numbers less than -4, typically with an open circle at -4.
