Solution

The document you've uploaded is a study guide focusing on compound inequalities and absolute value inequalities. It provides explanations, examples, and exercises for solving these inequalities, which are crucial in algebra.

Key Points from the Study Guide:

  1. Compound Inequalities:

    • These involve two inequalities joined by "and" or "or".
    • And: The solution is the intersection of the two sets.
    • Or: The solution is the union of the two sets.

    Examples:

    • For "and" compound inequalities: 4<x3-4 < x \leq 3, the solution is where both conditions are true.
    • For "or" compound inequalities: x<3x < -3 or x1x \geq 1, the solution includes any values that satisfy either condition.
  2. Examples:

    • Example 1 solves the inequality 3x+5243x + 5 \leq 24 and 5x+19145x + 19 \geq 14, solving each part and then graphing the solution.
    • Example 2 addresses solving 3y273y - 2 \geq 7 or 2y192y - 1 \leq 9, graphing the combined solution set.
  3. Exercises: The exercises ask you to solve various inequalities and graph the solutions:

    • Exercise 1: 10<4x+214-10 < 4x + 2 \leq 14
    • Exercise 2: 3x+8233x + 8 \leq 23 or 4x674x - 6 \geq 7
    • And several others involving similar inequalities, requiring both solving and graphing on a number line.

Tip:

Always isolate the variable in each part of the compound inequality before combining the solution sets for either intersection ("and") or union ("or").
