Is 2 a solution of the inequality –2x < –6? Explain. No; when 2 is substituted for x, the inequality is false: –4 < –6 Holt Algebra 2 2-1 Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities An inequality is a statement that compares two expressions by using the symbols <, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠. The graph of an inequality is the solution set, the set of all points on the number line that satisfy the inequality. The properties of equality are true for inequalities, with one important difference. If you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol. Holt Algebra 2 2-1 Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities A set can be finite like the set of billiard ball numbers or infinite like the natural numbers {1, 2, 3, 4 …}. A finite set has a definite, or finite, number of elements. An infinite set has an unlimited, or infinite number of elements. Helpful Hint The Density Property states that between any two numbers there is another real number. So any interval that includes more than one point contains infinitely many points. Holt Algebra 2 2-1 Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities Many infinite sets, such as the real numbers, cannot be represented in roster notation. There are other methods of representing these sets. For example, the number line represents the sets of all real numbers. The set of real numbers between 3 and 5, which is also an infinite set, can be represented on a number line or by an inequality. -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 3<x<5 Holt Algebra 2 6 7 8 2-1 Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities An interval is the set of all numbers between two endpoints, such as 3 and 5. In interval notation the symbols [ and ] are used to include an endpoint in an interval, and the symbols ( and ) are used to exclude an endpoint from an interval.
