Writing and Graphing Inequalities
Overview
Goal. Write inequalities from words and real situations, decide whether a value is a solution, and graph an inequality on a number line using an open or filled circle and the correct shading.
Solution of an inequality (definition). A value of the variable that makes the inequality true. An inequality usually has infinitely many solutions, so its answer is a graph, not a single number.
