What to Focus On

  • Strict inequalities: > and < symbols
  • Slack inequalities: ≥ and ≤ symbols
  • Only one relationship can hold between two numbers: a = b, a > b, or a < b

  • Adding/subtracting same value: LHS + c > RHS + c
  • Multiplying/dividing by positive: LHS × c > RHS × c (if c > 0)
  • Multiplying/dividing by negative: LHS × c < RHS × c (if c < 0)

  • AM-GM: (a + b)/2 ≥ √(ab) for positive a, b
  • Triangle inequality: |a + b| ≤ |a| + |b|
  • Square inequality: a² + b² ≥ 2ab

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign remains unchanged

The solution x > a means x can equal a

For quadratic inequalities, if the discriminant is negative, there is no solution
