Algebra - Solution of linear & quadratic inequalities

Please select a resource from the list below.

Quick Reference

  • This leaflet explains how graphs are used in the solution of inequalities.
  • This leaflet explains inequalities and shows how they can be solved.
  • The ability to study regions defined by linear inequalities is helpful when studying linear programming. This leaflet reminds you how to sketch these regions.
  • This leaflet explains the meaning of the inequality symbols < and >, and shows how expressions involving them are manipulated.

Teach Yourself

  • This booklet explains linear and quadratic inequalities and how they can be solved algebraically and graphically. It includes information on inequalities in which the modulus symbol is used.

Video

A transcript of each video should be available in the Teach Yourself section above.

These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).

Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.
