4.9 Graph and Solve Quadratic Inequalities Goal p Graph and solve quadratic inequalities. Your Notes VOCABULARY Quadratic inequalit in two variables Quadratic inequalit in one variable GRAPHING A QUADRATIC INEQUALITY IN TWO VARIABLES To graph a quadratic inequalit, follow these steps: Step Graph the parabola with equation 5 a 2 b c. Make the parabola for inequalities with < or > and for inequalities with or. Step 2 Test a point (, ) the parabola to determine whether the point is a solution of the inequalit. Step 3 Shade the region the parabola if the point from Step 2 is a solution. Shade the region the parabola if it is not a solution. 6 Lesson 4.9 Algebra 2 Notetaking Guide Copright Holt McDougal.

Your Notes VOCABULARY Quadratic inequalit in two variables An inequalit that can be written in the form < a 2 b c, a 2 b c, > a 2 b c, or a 2 b c Quadratic inequalit in one variable An inequalit that can be written in the form a 2 b c < 0, a 2 b c 0, a 2 b c > 0, or a 2 b c 0 GRAPHING A QUADRATIC INEQUALITY IN TWO VARIABLES To graph a quadratic inequalit, follow these steps: Step Graph the parabola with equation 5 a 2 b c. Make the parabola dashed for inequalities with < or > and solid for inequalities with or. Step 2 Test a point (, ) inside the parabola to determine whether the point is a solution of the inequalit. Step 3 Shade the region inside the parabola if the point from Step 2 is a solution. Shade the region outside the parabola if it is not a solution. 6 Lesson 4.9 Algebra 2 Notetaking Guide Copright Holt McDougal. All rights reserved.
