Polynomial and Rational Inequalities
What would you call this?
x > 3 and x < 5
Compound inequality: 2 inequalities
joined together by either “and” or “or”.
1 2 3 4 5
What part is x > 3 and x < 5 ??
x ≤ 3 or x > 5
What would it look like on the number line?
1 2 3 4 5
3 and 5 divide the solution set (of numbers)
from those numbers not belonging to the
solution set.
The following are some inequalities we will solve.

1. Find the “real” zeroes of the polynomial equation.
2. Divide the x-axis into intervals using the
zeroes of the polynomial.

3. Determine the sign (+/-) of the polynomial
for each interval of x-values. 122 xxy3. Determine the interval of x-values that
make the inequality true. )4,3(
-2 and 6 divide the solution from the “non-solution.”
Solve the equation:

The number line has been divided into 3 intervals:

The number line has been divided into 3 intervals:
Pick any number in the left-most interval and
substitute it in for x in the intercept form equation.

Graph the general shape of the equation.

What do you notice about
the graph and the signs for
each interval of ‘x’?
Same: you could
solve the inequality by
looking at the sign of ‘y’
from the graph!!!

When solving quadratic equations, we first
rearranged the equation to be in standard form.
