Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities

The video tutorial covers solving systems of linear inequalities. It begins with an introduction to the concept, explaining that unlike systems of linear equations, solutions for inequalities are regions of points. The tutorial demonstrates how to graph two inequalities, using different line styles and shading techniques to identify solution regions. An example problem is solved, highlighting cases where no solution exists due to parallel lines. The session concludes with homework instructions and a reminder to study for an upcoming quiz.

What is the main difference between solving systems of linear equations and systems of linear inequalities?

• Linear equations have one solution, while inequalities have multiple solutions.

• Linear equations involve curves, while inequalities involve straight lines.

• Linear equations require graphing, while inequalities do not.

• Linear equations have no solutions, while inequalities always have solutions.
