equations and inequalities Flashcards
what is the elimination method
making to of the coefficients match up so you can add of divide to eliminate them
what is the substitution method
rearrange one of the equation to x equals or y equals so that this can be substituted into the other equation in the place of x or y
how can you find the solutions to a pair of simultaneous equations on a graph
the solutions can be represented by the points of intersection
when do you use dotted lines for inequalities on a graph
when it is <>
when do you use solid lines for inequalities on a graph
when its <> or equal to
what happens when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number
you need to reverse the sign
how do you right set notation
(x:x<n)n/u(x:x>n)
how do you solve quadratic inequalities
1- replace <> with = to solve
2-sketch a graph and highlight when the value satisfy inequality
3-write in set notation
what do we do with inequalities with a faction with x denominator
we have to multiply by x squared so we eliminate the possibility of x being negative
