Quadratic Inequalities

This document discusses inequality signs and how to solve quadratic inequalities. It defines various inequality signs such as greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to, and not equal to. It explains that to solve a quadratic inequality, you write it in standard form as a quadratic equation, determine the solutions/values of x, represent the solutions on a number line dividing it into regions, and then select numbers from each region to substitute into the original inequality. The solutions that satisfy the inequality comprise the solution set. Two examples are provided and worked through step-by-step.

In solving a quadratic inequality, follow these steps.
1. Write the inequality as a quadratic equation in standard
form.
2. Determine the solution/values of x of the
quadratic equation.
3. Represent the solution as points on a
number line. These divides the number
line into 3 regions.
