INEQUALITIES SAT CLASS - 10

1) An algebraic inequality is a statement that one algebraic expression is greater than


or less than the other algebraic expression.

2) The inequality symbols are as shown below

3) Less than ⇒ <, Greater than ⇒ >, Less than or equal to ⇒ ≤, Greater than or equal to ⇒ ≥.

4) a> 0Read as ‘ a’ is greater than ‘0’ i.e., ‘ a’ is positive.

5) a< 0 Read as ‘ a’ is less than ‘0’ i.e., ‘ a’ is negative.

6) a ≥ 0 Read as ‘ a’ is greater than or equal to‘0’ i.e.,‘ a’ is either positive or zero or we


say that ‘ a’ is non negative.

7) a ≤ 0Read as ‘ a’ is less than or equal to ‘0’ i.e., ‘ a’ is either negative or zero or we say
that ‘ a’ is non positive.

8) If a> b and ‘ k ’ is a positive constant, then


a b
i) a+ k >b+ k ii) a−k > b−k iii) ak > bk iv) k > k .

9) If a> band ‘ k ’ is a negative constant then


a b
i) a+ k >b+ k ii) a−k > b−k iii) ak < bk iv) k < k .

10) If a< band ‘ k ’ is a positive constant, then


a b
i) a+ k <b+ k ii) a−k < b−k iii) ak < bk v) k < k .

11) If a< b and ‘ k ’ is a negative constant then


a b
i) a+ k <b+ k ii) a−k < b−k iii) ak > bk iv) k > k

12) x > y ⇔ x < y 13) x < y ⇔ x > y

14) x < y ⇔−x>− y 15) x > y ⇔−x ← y

16) xy <0 ⇔ x< 0 , y > 0∨x >0 , y <0

17) xy >0 ⇔ x< 0 , y < 0∨x >0 , y >0

18) a> b an d b> c ⇒ a> c

19) a < b and b < c ⇒ a < c 20) a > b and c > d ⇒ a+c > b+d

21) a > b and c < d ⇒ a - c > b - d 22) x <a ⇔ xε(−∞ , a)

23) x ≤ a ⇔ xε ¿ 24) x >a ⇔ xε(a , ∞ )

25) x ≥ a ⇔ xε ¿ 26) a< x< b ⇔ xε(a , b)

b −b
31) ax +b ≤ 0 anda> 0⇒ x ≤− a 32) ax +b >0 anda>0 ⇒ x> a
