Study Notes
Quadratic Inequalities
- Quadratic inequalities can be graphed in two variables using techniques similar to those for linear inequalities.
- The graph of a quadratic inequality represents regions where the inequality holds true.
Graphing a Quadratic Inequality
- Begin by graphing the corresponding quadratic function.
- Choose a test point that is not on the graph to determine the solution region.
- If the test point satisfies the inequality, shade the area that includes the point; otherwise, shade the area that does not include the point.
Solving Quadratic Inequalities
- Quadratic inequalities in one variable can be addressed through the graphs of related quadratic functions.
- The x-intercepts of the quadratic function indicate potential boundaries for shading the solution regions.
Solving ax² + bx + c < 0 by Graphing
- Graph the corresponding quadratic function and identify areas below the x-axis.
- The regions where the quadratic function is negative correspond to the solutions of the inequality.
Solving a Quadratic Inequality Algebraically
- Algebraic methods involve rewriting the inequality and finding critical points where the equality holds.
- Analyze intervals between critical points to determine where the inequality is satisfied.
