Learning Objectives
- Understand and solve linear inequalities in one variable using algebraic manipulation and represent solutions graphically on a number line.
- Graphically solve linear inequalities in two variables using half-planes, boundary lines, and test points.
- Comprehend the properties of inequalities, including the effects of addition, subtraction, and multiplication/division by positive or negative numbers on the inequality sign.
- Graphically represent solutions of inequalities on a number line, distinguishing between strict and slack inequalities using open and closed circles.
- Solve systems of inequalities and represent their solutions graphically, focusing on the intersection of solution sets.
- Apply inequalities to solve real-world problems, such as determining minimum or maximum values under given constraints.
- Solve double inequalities and express solutions in interval notation, such as solving .
- Identify the feasible region for two-variable inequalities, including boundary line inclusion/exclusion, for inequalities like or .
