& Inequalities I
Lecture No.- 04
3. If one of the roots of Quadratic Equation is (x + 𝑦), then other root can be represented as (x − 𝑦)
& vice versa.
5. If 𝛼 & 𝛽 are the roots of quadratic equation, then equation can be represented as 𝑥 2 - (𝛼+𝛽)x + 𝛼𝛽 = 0

c. [-1, 4] – {2}
Inequalities :
d. [-1,4] + {7}
e. (-1,4] U (8,12]
Points to Remember :
1. Many simple inequalities can be solved by adding, subtracting, multiplying or
dividing both sides
𝑥
e.g. 5 − 2𝑥 ≤ −8

Points to Remember :
2. But, Following things will change direction of the inequality:
• Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number
• Swapping left and right hand sides
Points to Remember :
3. Don’t multiply or divide by a variable (unless you know it is always positive or
always negative).
