Intro to Inequalities Student Handout 1

Rewrite the following inequality.

-7 ≥ y

• -7 ≤ y

• y ≤ -7

• y ≥ -7

• y < -7

True or False

12h > 36, if h = 3

• True because 12 * 3 equals 36

• True because 12 * 3 is greater than 36

• False because 12 * 3 equals 36 and 36 is not greater than 36

• False because 12 * 3 is less than 36

True or False

18 < a + 12, if a = 7

True or False

-5 + w ≥ -8, if w = 2

True or False

-5 + w ≥ -8; if w=2

How does the graph for k > -5 look on your paper?

• An open circle at -5 with an arrow drawn to the right

• A closed circle at -5 with an arrow drawn to the right.

• An open circle at -5 with an arrown drawn to the left.

• A closed circle at -5 with an arrow drawn to the left.

What does your graph look like for #9

d < 16

Hint - Remember to say if you have an open or closed circle on which number and which direction is it shaded. You can upload an image of your paper.

b ≥ -0.25

if b is -0.75

• True

• False

• True

• False
