    The document discusses linear inequations and their solution sets. It defines a linear inequation as an expression of the form a*x + b < 0, = 0, > 0, or ≠ 0, where a and b are real numbers and a ≠ 0. The solution set of an inequation is the set of values for the variable that make the inequation true given the replacement set. Several examples of solving linear inequations and finding their solution sets are provided.

    Linear Inequations

    In general a linear inequation can always be written as a x +b < 0, a x +b 0, a x +b > 0 or a x +b 0, where a and b are real numbers, a 0. Replacement set The set from which values of the variable (involved in the inequation) are chosen is called the replacement set. Solution set A solution to an inequation is a number (chosen from replacement set) which, when substituted for the variable, makes the inequation true. The set of all solutions of an inequation is called the solution set of the inequation. For example, consider the inequation x < 4 Replacement set Solution set (i) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} {1, 2, 3} (ii) {-1, 0, 1, 2, 5, 8} {-1, 0, 1, 2} (iii) {-5, 10} {-5} (iv) {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} Note that the solution set depends upon the replacement set. Remark Always reverse the symbol of an inequation when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. Illustrative Examples Example Find the solution set of 2 ;< 3 (x - 2) +5 < 8, x W. Also represent its solution on the number line. Solution Given 2 3 (x -2) +5 < 8 => 2 3 x -6 + 5 < 8 => 2 3 x -1 < 8 => 2 +1 3 x -1 +1 < 8 +1 [Add 1] => 3 3 x < 9 => 1 x < 3 [Divide by 3] But x W i.e. x {0, 1, 2, 3 , 4, ...}, Hence the solution set is {1, 2} The solution set is shown by thick dots on the number line.

    Example John needs a minimum of 360 marks in four tests in a Mathematics course to obtain an A grade. On his first three tests, he scored 88, 96, 79 marks. What should his score be in the fourth test so that he can make an A grade? Solution Let John score x marks in the fourth test. Then the sum of Johns test scores should be greater than or equal to 360 i.e. 88 +96 +79 +x 360 => 263 + x 360 => x 360 +(-263) => x 97 John should score 97 or greater than 97 in the fourth test to obtain A grade.
