One Variable First DegreeInequality • Written in the form • ax + b ≥ 0 • Solving a first degreeinequality in one variable meansfinding the values of x thatmake the inequalitytrue • Example: 3x – 5 ≥ 13 3x ≥ 13 + 5 x ≥ 18 3 x ≥ 6 0 6
Representing a Situation • The length of a rectangle is 5cm more than its width. The perimeter is at least 66cm. Find the minimum measures of the length and width.
Two Variable First DegreeInequality • Written in the form • ax + by + c = 0 • y = ax + b • The solution set of a first degreeinequality in two variables isrepresentedgraphically by a half-plane, whoseboundryis the equation of the line • Example: ≥ or ≤ Solidboundry > or < Dashedboundry
Example • Representgraphically the solution set for the followinginequalities: a) y –x -1< 0 b) -2x + y + 5 ≥ 0
Example • Translate each of the following graphs into an inequality: a) b) x < -1 y ≤ 2x -4
Representing the Situation • A financialcompanyemploysregular staff at 20$/h and contract staff at 25$/h. The company has a budget of $2000 for the employee salaries.
