What is an inequality?

Back

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

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

Back

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

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

Back

An open circle indicates that the number is not included (e.g., x > 5), while a closed circle indicates that the number is included (e.g., x ≥ 5).
