Understanding Inequalities and Interval Notation

The video tutorial explains how to solve an inequality, graph the solution, and express it using interval notation. It covers the steps to solve inequalities, including handling negative multipliers, and demonstrates graphing solutions on a number line. The tutorial also explains interval notation, using parentheses and brackets to indicate whether endpoints are included, and provides tips for using these notations in homework systems.

What must you remember to do when multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number?

• Add the same number to both sides

• Reverse the inequality symbol

• Multiply both sides by zero

• Subtract the same number from both sides
