Syllabus 9740 - Inequalities: Chow Kim Wan

1. The document is a syllabus that covers solving inequalities with and without calculators. It includes examples of solving various types of inequalities algebraically and graphically. 2. One example asks the student to determine the number of chickens, horses, and sheep on a farm given information about the total number of legs and types of animals. 3. Other examples involve solving rational inequalities, polynomial inequalities, and exponential inequalities algebraically and determining the range of values for which the inequalities are satisfied.

(a) In a farm, there were 3 different types of animals: chickens, horses and sheep. The farmer confirmed that the number of
sheep is twice the number of chickens. He also counted a total of 1250 animal legs. Due to his handwriting, he was not
sure if there were 250 animals or 350 animals in total.
Find the correct number of chickens, horses and sheep.
