What is an inequality?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between 'b < -2' and 'b ≤ -2'?

Back

'b < -2' means b is less than -2 (not including -2), while 'b ≤ -2' means b is less than or equal to -2 (including -2).
