Study Notes
Quadratic Inequalities
- Quadratic inequalities are expressions involving quadratic equations with inequality symbols such as >, <, ≥, ≤, and ≠.
- They are expressions that can be expressed in various forms: ax² + bx + c > 0, ax² + bx + c < 0, ax² + bx + c ≥ 0, ax² + bx + c ≤ 0, and ax² + bx + c ≠0.
- A solution for a quadratic inequality is any set of x-values that make the inequality true.
- Useful properties for solving quadratic inequalities are: a product is positive when factors are either both positive or both negative; and a product is negative when the factors have opposite signs.
Solving Quadratic Inequalities Algebraically
- Algebraic methods involve using knowledge of quadratic equations to find critical points of the inequality.
- Critical points are the solutions to the related quadratic equation.
- The critical points divide the number line into intervals.
- Substitute test points from each interval into the original inequality to determine whether the inequality holds true.
- Use the intervals where the inequality is true to determine the solutions.
- Express solutions in interval notation.
Additional Notes
- Applying quadratic inequalities to solve real-world problems involves analyzing the problem to identify the relevant equation and inequality.
- Real-world problems often involve relationships, such as profit functions, where the goal is to determine the required quantity to achieve a certain outcome.
