    Inequalities

    x < 4 means that x is less than 4; so, for example 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, …


    x ≤ 4 means that x is less than or equal to 4,
    so, for example x could be 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1 ....

    x > 4 means that x is greater than 4, so, for example 5, 6, 7, ...


    x ≥4 means that x is greater than or equal to 4,
    so, for example x could be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ....

    These can be put together:


    2<x ≤5

    This mean that x is less than or equal to 5 but greater than 2. So the whole number
    or integer solutions to this would be: 3, 4 and 5.

    Now try these


    Find the integer solutions for the following inequalities

    1. 2<x ≤6 6. -2 ≤ x ≤ 5
    2. 2 ≤x ≤ 6 7. 7 ≤ x ≤ 8
    3. 2 ≤x<6 8. -1 < x ≤ 0
    4. 0<x ≤1 9. -3 ≤ x < -1
    5. -2 < x ≤ 4 10. –4 ≤ x ≤ -1

    We can sketch inequalities on a number line:

    Example
    (a) (b)

    This represents x < 4; the circle on the 4 is This represents –4 ≤ x <3. the circle
    not filled in as the inequality does not -4 is filled in as it includes –4; but the
    include 4 circle on 3 is not as this is not
    included

    Now try these


    Write down the inequalities shown on the number line
    We can also sketch inequalities on a graph:

    For example
    (a) x ≥ 4 (b) x > 4
    Draw x = 4 and then decide which region is correct:
    (a) (b)

    f(x) f(x)
    5 5
    4 4
    x≥ 4 x>4
    3 3
    2 2
    1 1
    x x
    -1 1 2 3 4 5 -1 1 2 3 4 5
    -1 -1
    -2 -2

    The line shows x =4.


    To the left of the line is the region x ≤ 4.
    To the right is the region x ≥ 4.

    If the region includes the points on the line – then the line is drawn in full as on (a) if
    not the line is dotted as on (b).

    1. On the graphs draw the following:


    f(x) f(x)
    4 4
    3 3
    2 2
    1 1
    x x
    -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4
    -1 -1
    -2 -2
    -3 -3
    -4 -4

    (a) the line x = 3 and shade the region x ≤ 3 (b) the line y = 2 and shade the
    region y ≤ 2

    f(x) f(x)
    4 4
    3 3
    2 2
    1 1
    x x
    -4 -3 -2 -1
    -1 1 2 3 4 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4
    -1
    -2 -2
    -3 -3
    -4 -4

    (c) the line y = -1 and shade the region y > -1 (d) the line x = -3 and shade the
    region x < -3

    2. Draw the following:

    f(x) f(x)
    4 4
    3 3
    2 2
    1 1
    x x
    -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4
    -1 -1
    -2 -2
    -3 -3
    -4 -4
    .. ..
    (a) the lines y = 1 and y = 2 (b) the lines x = 3 and x = 2
    then shade the region 1 ≤ y ≤ 2 then shade the region 2 ≤ x ≤ 3
