Solving Inequalities

From MathMotivation.com – Permission Granted For Use and Modification For Non-Profit Purposes Solving Inequalities An inequality is the result of replacing the = sign in an equation with <, >, ≤, or ≥. For example, 3x – 2 < 7 is a linear inequality. We call it “linear” because if the < were replaced with an = sign, it would be a linear equation. Inequalities involving polynomials of degree 2 or more, like 2x3 – x > 0, are referred to as polynomial inequalities, or quadratic inequalities if the degree is exactly 2.
