Understanding Compound Inequalities

The video tutorial explains how to solve compound inequalities, which consist of two inequalities connected by 'or'. It demonstrates solving each inequality separately, graphing the solutions on a number line, and combining them using union. The tutorial also covers expressing the solution in interval notation, emphasizing the use of open parentheses for non-inclusive values and the concept of infinity.

What does a compound inequality consist of?

• Two inequalities connected by 'and'

• A single inequality

• Two inequalities connected by 'or'

• Two equations connected by 'and'
