An inequality is used to show that one expression may not be equal to another.

A quadratic is an equation, graph or sequence where the highest exponent of the variable is 2. The general form for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c

Solving quadratic inequalities in one variable graphically

Maths

In this unit, pupils will learn how to extend their understanding of solving equations and extend this to consider inequalities. Pupils will consider a variety of inequalities and ways that their solutions can be represented.

Inequalities

$$-5<x<5$$ is the __________ the quadratic inequality $$x^2-25<0$$.

This is the curve $$y=x^2-9$$ Use the graph to solve $$x^2-9<0$$.

This is the curve $$y=x^2-9$$. Use the graph to solve $$x^2-9>0$$.

This is the curve $$y=x^2-9$$. Use the graph to solve $$x^2-9<-9$$.

This is the curve $$y=x^2-4x+4$$. The solution to the inequality $$1<x^2-4x+4<4$$ is $$0<x<1$$ or {{}}.

Rearrange and sketch to solve $$100-x^2<64$$.
