Study Notes
Introduction to Linear Inequalities
- Linear inequalities express relationships where one quantity is greater than, less than, or equal to another.
- Examples include classroom height limitations and seating capacities.
- Inequalities are prevalent in various fields like science, math, economics, and psychology.
Understanding Inequalities
- Ravi's situation exemplifies a budget constraint: with ₹200 and rice costing ₹30 per kg, the expression 30x < 200 indicates he can buy less than 7 packets.
- Reshma's budget scenario shows how to formulate an inequality: with ₹120 to spend on registers (₹40 each) and pens (₹20 each), the equation is 40x + 20y ≤ 120.
- Key components of inequalities:
- Strict inequalities: < (less than), > (greater than).
- Non-strict inequalities: ≤ (less than or equal to), ≥ (greater than or equal to).
Types of Inequalities
- Numerical inequalities: simple forms involving numbers (e.g., 3 < 5).
- Literal inequalities: expressions involving variables (e.g., x < 5, y ≥ 4).
- Double inequalities express relationships between three quantities (e.g., 3 < x < 5).
- Various forms of inequalities presented, including:
- ax + b < 0 (strict)
- ax + b ≤ 0 (slack)
- ax + by < c (two-variable strict)
- ax^2 + bx + c > 0 (quadratic)
Algebraic and Graphical Solutions
- Solutions to inequalities can be represented graphically, showcasing the valid ranges of variables.
- For 30x < 200, the valid integers are found through substitution with potential values:
- Confirmed true for x = 0 to 6.
- At x = 7, the inequality fails, illustrating valid solutions are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Importance of Linear Inequalities
- Linear inequalities simplify decision-making in resource allocation and budgeting scenarios.
- Understanding how to translate real-world problems into mathematical expressions is crucial for problem-solving.
- Focus remains on linear inequalities in one and two variables for foundational learning.
