Chapter 2
Solving Some Equations and Inequalities
The object of solving equations and inequalities is to discover which number or numbers will create a true statement in the given expression. The main techniques you use to find such solutions include factoring, applying the multiplication property of zero, creating sign lines, finding common denominators, and squaring both sides of an equation. Your challenge is to determine which techniques work in a particular problem and whether you have a correct solution after applying those techniques.
The Problems You’ll Work On
In this chapter, you’ll work with equations and inequalities in the following ways:
Writing inequality solutions using both inequality notation and interval notation
Solving linear and quadratic inequalities using a sign line
Determining the solutions of absolute value equations and inequalities
Taking on radical equations and checking for extraneous roots
Rationalizing denominators as a method for finding solutions
What to Watch Out For
Keep in mind that when solving equations and inequalities, your challenges will include
