Chapter 6 - Linear Inequalities
● An inequality is a relationship that exists between two values that aren't equal.
● For example,
x > 9
. Here there is a relation between
x
&
9
.
● Any two algebraic expressions or real numbers related by symbol ‘
<
’, ‘
>
’, ‘
’ or ‘
’ form inequality.
● Inequalities can be used to solve problems in science, mathematics, statistics,
economics, optimization problems, psychology, and other fields.
Example of inequality in daily life:
Rina and Samira have
Rs. 5,000
& wants to buy t-shirts and shoes for trekking.
The cost price of t-shirt and shoes is
Rs. 250
and
Rs. 550
respectively. We can
write the above statement mathematically using inequalities, as follows;
Let the number of t-shirt they can buy be
x
& number of shoes be
y
.
Then, the total amount spent by them is
250x + 550y 5000
Here, the total amount is upto
Rs. 5,000
.
The above given statement consists of two statements as,
250x + 550y 5000
which is an inequality and
250x + 550y 5000
is an equation
