    Study Notes

    Interval Notation

    • Interval notation uses parentheses and brackets to represent a set of real numbers
    • Parentheses indicate an endpoint is not included
    • Brackets indicate an endpoint is included
    • Infinity symbols are always paired with parentheses

    Types of Intervals

    • Open interval: (a, b) represents all values between a and b, but not including a or b. {x | a < x < b}
    • Closed interval: [a, b] represents all values between a and b, including a and b. {x | a ≤ x ≤ b}
    • Half-open (or half-closed) interval: [a, b) represents all values between a and b, including a but not b. {x | a ≤ x < b} or (a, b] represents all values between a and b, including b but not a. {x | a < x ≤ b}
    • Disjoint interval: (-∞, a) ∪ (b, ∞) represents all values less than a or greater than b. {x | x < a or x > b}
    • Infinite interval: (-∞, a) represents all real numbers less than a, (-∞, a] represents all real numbers less than or equal to a, (a, ∞) represents all real numbers greater than a, [a, ∞) represents all real numbers greater than or equal to a;
    • All real numbers: (-∞, ∞) represents the set of all real numbers. {x| x is a real number}

    Solving Linear Inequalities

    • Distributive Property: Use the distributive property to clear parentheses.
    • Clear fractions/decimals: Multiply each side of the inequality by a common denominator to eliminate fractions.
    • Combine like terms: Combine all the like terms on each side of the equation.
    • Isolate variable terms: Use the addition property of inequality to get all variable terms on one side.
    • Isolate the variable: Use the multiplication property of inequality to solve for the variable.
    • Reverse inequality: When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, flip the inequality sign.

    Solving Compound Inequalities

    • "And" Compound Inequalities: Solve each inequality separately, then find the intersection of the solution sets to determine the values that satisfy both inequalities.
    • "Or" Compound Inequalities: Solve each inequality separately, then find the union of the solution sets to determine the values that satisfy at least one of the inequalities.
