Sagot :

The value of an item is greater than or equal to 5. This statement is represented by the inequality [tex]x\geq 5[/tex] .

An inequality is a mathematical relation which compares the values of two different entities.

The various symbols used in expressing inequalities are

  • a>b    means a is greater than b
  • b<a    means b is less than a
  • [tex]a\geq b[/tex]  means a is greater than or equal to b
  • [tex]a\leq b[/tex]  means a is less than or equal to b.

Linear inequalities in one variable are represented on the number line.

For example: a>100 represents all numbers greater than 100 along the number line

Linear inequalities in two variables are represented as a region in a cartesian plane.

For example: 2x+3y<6 represents a region below the straight line 2x+3y=6.
