Section 6.2: Solving Inequalities Using Multiplication and Division
Activity 4 ____ 3 Complete the table with <, > or = What happens to the inequality symbol when you multiply each side by a positive number What happens to an inequality symbol when you multiply each side by 0 What happens to an inequality symbol when you multiply each side by a negative number
Now try solving these inequalities • 3x > 15 • 4x < 12 • -3x > 15 • -4x < 12 After you and your table partner solve, pick a number to see if it is a solution. How is this like the first activity you and your table partner did.
Solving inequalities: Use Multiplication and Division *Remember – Solve the inequality by getting the variable by itself. Use inverse operations!!!* - Inverse operation of multiplication is division - Inverse operation of division is multiplication
Second reminder!!! When graphing inequalities… < , > means open circle < ,> means closed circle
Important Note!!! *Note – You must reverse the direction of the inequality sign when you multiply or divide each side by a negative number. Examples when you should reverse the inequality sign: (1) -2x > 8 (2)
Examples: Directions: Solve each inequality and graph the solution on a number line. (1) 8x > 16 (2) -4x < 12 (3) (4)
Try these: Directions: Solve each inequality and graph the solution on a number line. (1) 3x > 9 (2) -5x < 20 (3) (4)
