Writing & Graphing Inequalities Learning Target: Today I am learning how to write and graph inequalities on the number line because I want to be able to represent situations that have more than one correct answer.

Where might I see inequalities in real life?

Opening 1. You are going to Six Flags as soon as school is out

Opening 1. You are going to Six Flags as soon as school is out (yaay!). You have to be at least 4 ft. tall to ride some of your favorite rides, but it isn’t only 4 -foot tall people who can ride the rides! How tall can you be and ride the rides? 4 ft. tall and taller 2. See if you can figure out how to represent this with an inequality sign and a variable. (Hint: if it were an equation it would look like this: x = 4 ft. Use one of the inequality symbols posted on the board to make it an inequality. ) x > 4 ft. 3. What are the possible solutions for x (the variable)? 4’, 4’ 1”, 4’ 2”. . . 6’, 6’ 1”, etc. ! And everything in between!

n What are some other situations that have more than one answer or qualifying response? Examples: Scores that qualify for an A: > 90 Money you need to get into Six Flags: > $39 Age required to get the kids’ meal: < 10 years old) Number of days to complete your project < 5 days

12 -4 Inequalities An inequality states that two quantities either are not equal or may not be equal. An inequality uses one of the following symbols: Symbol < > Course 2 Meaning Word Phrases is less than Fewer than, below More than, above ≤ is greater than is less than or equal to ≥ is greater than or equal to At least, no less than At most, no more than

And: Symbol ≠ Meaning is not equal to Word Phrases Is not equal to

An inequality that contains a variable is an algebraic inequality. A value of the variable that makes the inequality true is a solution of the inequality. An inequality may have more than one solution. Together, all of the solutions are called the solution set.

Write an inequality for each situation. A. There at least 15 people in the waiting room. number of people ≥ 15 or x ≥ 15 “At least” means greater than or equal to. B. The tram attendant will allow no more than 60 people on the tram. number of people ≤ 60 or x ≤ 60 “No more than” means less than or equal to.

D. There at least 10 yards of fabric left. yards of fabric ≥ 10 or x ≥ 10 Course 2 “At least” means greater than or equal to.

Graphing Inequalities Words aren’t enough. I want to show an inequality on a number

Graphing Inequalities Words aren’t enough. I want to show an inequality on a number line. Can I do that? ? Dr. Burger says yes! We can graph inequalities

12 -4 Inequalities You can graph the solutions of an inequality on a number

12 -4 Inequalities You can graph the solutions of an inequality on a number line. If the variable is “greater than” or “less than” a number, then that number is indicated with an open circle. To indicate that solutions include numbers with values less than the point graphed, shade to the left of the point. To show that solutions include numbers greater than the point graphed, shade to the right of the point. Course 2

12 -4 Inequalities This open circle shows that 5 is not a solution. a>5

12 -4 Inequalities This open circle shows that 5 is not a solution. a>5 If the variable is “greater than or equal to” or “less than or equal to” a number, that number is indicated with a closed circle. This closed circle shows that 3 is a solution. b≤ 3 Course 2

Symbols Review Open Circle n The number is not included in the solution. Closed

Symbols Review Open Circle n The number is not included in the solution. Closed Circle n The number is included in the solution.

Now hold the papers together and fold the top down so you have six 1 -2 inch flaps, and put two staples at the very top to hold your flip book together.

Write “Inequalities” on the top flap

Copy the following graphs onto each new flap on your flip book as they

Copy the following graphs onto each new flap on your flip book as they are shown to you. Make sure that you pay attention whether the circles are open or closed!

Now that we’ve completed the graphs for our flip books, let’s begin writing the

Now that we’ve completed the graphs for our flip books, let’s begin writing the inequalities that each graph represents. Make sure that you can write the inequality with the variable both on the right AND the left of the inequality sign. What happens when you switch the side that the inequality is on?

Now go through each graph and fill in the inequalities. When you have finished,

Now go through each graph and fill in the inequalities. When you have finished, check with a partner close to you.
