Notes
1. X ∈ (a , b) : {x : a < x < b}
2. X ∈ [a , b] : {x : a ≤ x ≤ b}
3. X ∈ [a , ∞) : {x : x ≥ a}
4. X ∈ (-∞ , ∞) : {x : x ∈ R}
Inequalities عدم تساوي/تباين
• If a , b and c ∈ R, then:
1. If a > b and b > c → a > c
2. If a > b → a+c > b+c
3. If a > b → a-c > b-c
4. If a > b and c is +ve → ac > bc
5. If a > b and c is -ve → ac < bc
Inequalities عدم تساوي/تباين
6. If |a| = b → a = b or a = -b
7. If |a| < b → -b < a < b
8. If |a| > b → a > b or a < -b
Notes
1. If 𝑥 2 > b → | 𝑥 | > 𝑏
i.e. 𝑥 > 𝑏 or 𝑥 < - 𝑏
2
2. If 𝑥 < b → | 𝑥 | < 𝑏
i.e. - 𝑏 < 𝑥 < 𝑏
Example: Solve and represent on line of
numbers
4−3𝑥
Ex.1:- -5 ≤ <1

Solution:-
-10 ≤ 4-3x < 2 (By multiplying by 2)
-14 ≤ -3x < -2 (By subtracting 4)
14 ≥ 3x > 2 (By multiplying by -1)

Ex.2:- |2x-7| > 3
Solution:-
2x-7 > 3 or 2x-7 < -3
2x > 10 or 2x < 4

Ex.3:- 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 8 ≥ 0 (Quadratic Inequality)
Solution:-
1. Turn it to equation: 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 8 = 0
2. Find the solution: (x+4) (x-2) = 0
x = -4 or x = 2
3. Draw the line of numbers:
] [
4. Try values in all intervals: (x+4) (x-2) ≥ 0
If x = 0 false, If x = -10 true
If x = 4 true, At x = -4 and 2 true
x ∈ (-∞ , -4] ⋃ [2 , ∞)
