Compound Inequalities (A1 1-6)

ESSENTIAL 

​QUESTION

​WHAT ARE COMPOUND INEQUALITIES AND HOW ARE THEIR SOLUTIONS REPRESENTED?

2

​COMPOUND INEQUALITY

Two inequalities (or more) joined together with "and" or "or".​

3

TYPE 1: "OR" :

"or" inequalities tend to graph apart

​

​<----- or ----->

5

example 1:

Once you solve the inequalities, it is time to graph!

Graph just as you would any other Inequality. Notice how the two inequalities go in opposite directions.

11

TYPE 2: "AND" :

"and" inequalities have a tendency to graph together

media

12

TYPE 2: "AND" :

Because "and" solutions fall between two endpoints, they can be written in a condensed form:

media

13

Solving "and":

MUST split the compound inequality into two inequalities.

​You can use the box method to help you split the compound inequality in two. Notice in the picture how everything in the middle is included when splitting it in two.

14

Solving "and":

Once you solve the inequalities, it is time to graph! Graph just as you would any other Inequality. Notice how the two inequalities go towards each other.
