Explain. Not equivalent; the inequalities do not have the same solution sets. If x = 2, then x 2 = 4 and 4 > 1. The solution set of x 2 > 1 contains the subsets of real numbers given by xx < 1. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 15

Explain whether the statement If a > b, then is sometimes, always, or never true. Sometimes. Consider three cases. Case I: a > 0 and b Choose a = 3 and b. Case II: a < 0 and b Choose a = 2 and b = 3. Then 2 > 3, but. Case III: a > 0 and b Choose a = 2 and b = 3. Then 2 > 3, and The statement is only true when a > 0 and b < 0. Create a realworld situation to represent the inequality.

WRITING IN MATH How are solving linear inequalities and linear equations similar? different? Sample answer: The same processes are used when solving linear inequalities and equations that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division by a positive number. However, when a linear inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality symbol must change directions so that the inequality remains true. For example: Inequality: Equation: Juans long-distance phone company charges 9for each minute. Which inequality can be used to find how long he can talk to a friend if he does not want to spend more than $2.50 on the call? 0.09 2.50m 0.09 2.50m 0.09m 2.50 0.09m 2.50 The rate 0.09 is the rate to be multiplied by each minute. So choices A and B can be eliminated. If he does not want to spend more than $2.50, then choice D is correct. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 17
