  1. 1.7 Solving Compound Inequalities

  2. Steps to Solve a Compound Inequality: • Example: • This is a conjunctionbecause the two inequality statements are joined by the word “and”. • You must solve each part of the inequality. • The graph of the solution of the conjunction is the intersection of the two inequalities. Both conditions of the inequalities must be met. • In other words, the solution is wherever the two inequalities overlap. • If the solution does not overlap, there is no solution.

  3. Review of the Steps to Solve a Compound Inequality: • Example: • This is a disjunctionbecause the two inequality statements are joined by the word “or”. • You must solve each part of the inequality. • The graph of the solution of the disjunction is the union of the two inequalities. Only one condition of the inequality must be met. • In other words, the solution will include each of the graphed lines. The graphs can go in opposite directions or towards each other, thus overlapping. • If the inequalities do overlap, the solution is all reals.

  4. “and’’ Statements can be Written in Two Different Ways • 1. 8 < m + 6 < 14 • 2. 8 < m+6 and m+6 < 14 If written the first way, split the combined inequality into two separate inequalities, such as the case in #2.

  5. 2 8 “and” Statements Example : 8 < m + 6 < 14 Rewrite the compound inequality using the word “and”, then solve each inequality. 8 < m + 6 and m + 6 < 14 2 < m m < 8 m >2 and m < 8 2 < m < 8 Graph the solution:

  6. -4 3 ‘or’ Statements Example: x - 1 > 2 or x + 3 < -1 x > 3 x < -4 x < -4 or x >3 Graph the solution.
