Finding an Average Test Score
EXAMPLE 6
Maggie has scores of 98, 86, and 88 on her first three tests
in algebra. If she wants an average of at least 90 after her
fourth test, what score must she make on that test?

Solution: Let x = Maggie’s fourth test score.

Remember to work with all three parts of the inequality.


Graphing Inequalities
• The solution set for an inequality
contain many ordered pairs. The
graphs of these ordered pairs fill in
an area of the coordinate plane and
may or may not include points on
the boundary line.
BACK
Graph x < -3
Sketch x = -3
x = -3 Now pick a
test point on
one side of
the dotted
line like (0,0)

BACK
Test a Point
X Y

• Take the point (0,0) and


plug in the x value in x < -3
•x < -3
•0 < -3
Since it’s false, shade the
side opposite of (0,0).
Graph x < -3

x = -3

Shade the area with true solutions!


Graph y ≤ 4
Sketch y = 4

y=4 Now pick a


point on one
side of the
solid line
(0,0)
Test a Point
• Take the point (0,0) and
plug in the y value in y ≤ 4
•y ≤ 4
•0 ≤ 4
Since it’s True, shade the
side that (0,0) is on.
Graph x < -3 & y ≤ 4

y=4

BACK
Graph x < -3 & y ≤ 4

y≤4
What’s the
x < -3 difference between
the dotted line and
the solid line?
Dotted or Solid Lines???

• Use a solid line if your equation


contains any part of an equal sign
( =, ≤, ≥ ) to show that points that fall
on the line are include in the solution.
• Use a dotted or dashed line if you have
< or > to show that the points on this
line are not part of the solution area.

BACK
Graph x + y < 3
Sketch y = -x + 3
y= -x +3
Now pick a
point on one
side of the
dotted line
(0,0) BACK
Test a Point
• Take the point (0,0) and plug
in the values in y < -x + 3
• y < -x + 3
• 0 < -0 + 3
•0 < 3
Since it’s True, shade the
side that (0,0) is on.
Graph x + y < 3

y= -x +3

BACK
You try this one
•Graph y ≤ 2x - 1

You try
this one
BACK
Graph y ≤ 2x - 1
Sketch y = 2x - 1

y= 2x - 1 Now pick a
test point on
one side of
the dotted
line (-1,0)
Test a Point
• Take the point (-1,0) and plug
in the values in y ≤ 2x - 1
• y ≤ 2x - 1
• 0 ≤ 2(-1) -1
• 0 ≤ -3
Since it’s False, shade the
opposite side of (-1,0). on.
Graph y > 2x - 1

y= 2x - 1

Graph the following linear system of inequalities.

y   3x  2 Use the slope and y-


y 2 x  4 intercept to plot the

For < use a dashed
line.

test it in the

The region below


the line should be
x shaded.

BACK
Graph the following linear system of inequalities.

y   3x  2 The solution to this


system of

y region where the
solutions to each
inequality overlap.
This is the region
above or to the left of
