Linear Inequalities — Syllabus & Topics

Topics covered in Linear Inequalities for MET Mathematics.

Topics in Linear Inequalities

1

Basic Concepts and Types of Inequalities

  • An inequality is a statement involving symbols '>', '<', '≥', '≤'
  • Numerical inequalities: Do not involve variables (e.g., 5 > 3)
  • Literal inequalities: Involve variables (e.g., x + 2 > 5)
2

Solving Linear Inequalities in One Variable

  • Rule 1: Add/subtract same number from both sides without changing inequality sign
  • Rule 2: Multiply/divide by positive number - inequality sign remains same
  • Rule 3: Multiply/divide by negative number - inequality sign reverses
3

Graphical Representation of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

  • A line divides coordinate plane into two half-planes
  • Vertical lines create left and right half-planes
  • Non-vertical lines create upper and lower half-planes
4

System of Linear Inequalities

  • System involves two or more linear inequalities in same variables
  • Solution is intersection of individual solution regions
  • Result may be bounded polygon, unbounded region, or empty set
