Compound InEqualitiesCompound InEqualities

Two inequalities joined by the word “and” or the word “or” are called compound inequalities

Examples

3 9 0 5x and x

7 1 8 8x or x



Intersection of Sets Intersection of Sets

The intersection of two sets A and B is the set of all elements that are common to both A and B. We denote the intersection of sets A and B as

A B

.A B



Example Example Intersection Intersection

Find the InterSection of Two Sets

, , , , , , , , , , .a b c d e f g a e i o u

SOLUTION: Look for common elements

The letters a and e are common to both sets, so the intersection is {a, e}.



Conjunctions of SentencesConjunctions of Sentences

When two or more sentences are joined by the word and to make a compound sentence, the new sentence is called a conjunction of the sentences.

This is a conjunction of inequalities:

−1 < x and x < 3.

A number is a soln of a conjunction if it is a soln of both of the separate parts. For example, 0 is a solution because it is a solution of −1 < x as well as x < 3



Intersections & ConjunctionsIntersections & Conjunctions

Note that the soln set of a conjunction is the intersection of the solution sets of the individual sentences.

| 3 x x

| 1 x x

| 1 3 x x and x

-1 3

| 1 } { | 3 x x x x 3



Example Example “anded” InEquality “anded” InEquality

Given the compound inequality

x > −5 and x < 2 Graph the solution set and write the

compound inequality without the “and,” if possible.

Then write the solution in set-builder notation and in interval notation.




SOLUTION → Graph x > −5 & x < 2

(

)

( )

x > 5

x < 2

x > 5 and

x < 2




SOLUTION → Write x > −5 & x < 2

x > −5 and x < 2 Without “and”: −5 < x < 2 Set-builder notation: {x| −5 < x < 2} Interval notation: (−5, 2)

• Warning: Be careful not to confuse the interval notation with an ordered pair.



Example Example Solve “&” InEqual Solve “&” InEqual

Given InEqual → 2 1 3 3 12,x and x

Graph the solution set. Then write the solution set in set-builder notation and in interval notation.

SOLUTION: Solve each inequality in the compound inequality

2 1 3x 2 4 x

2 x

3 12x 4x

and



Example Example Solve “&” InEqual Solve “&” InEqual

SOLUTION: Write for

Without “and”: −2 ≤ x < 4

Set-builder notation: {x| −2 ≤ x < 4}

Interval notation: [−2, 4)

2 1 3 3 12,x and x

““andand” Abbreviated” Abbreviated

Note that for a < b• a < x and x < b can be abbreviated a < x < b

and, equivalently,• b > x and x > a can be abbreviated b > x > a

So 3 < 2x +1 < 7 can be solved as3 < 2x +1 and 2x + 1 < 7



Mathematical use of “Mathematical use of “andand””

The word “and” corresponds to “intersection” and to the symbol ∩

Any solution of a conjunction must make each part of the conjunction true.



No Conjunctive SolutionNo Conjunctive Solution

Sometimes there is NO way to solve BOTH parts of a conjunction at once.

A B

A B

In this situation, A and B are said to be disjoint



Example Example DisJoint Sets DisJoint Sets

Solve and Graph: 5 10 4 3.x and x

SOLUTION:

5 1.x and x 5 10 4 3x and x

Since NO number is greater than 5 and simultaneously less than 1, the solution set is the empty set Ø• The Graph:

0



Union of SetsUnion of Sets

The union of two sets A and B is the collection of elements belonging to A or B. We denote the union of sets, A or B, by

A B

A B



Example Example Union of Sets Union of Sets

Find the Union for Sets

, , , , , , , , , .a b c d e a e i o u

SOLUTION: Look for OverLapping (Redundant) Elements

Thus the Union of Sets

, , , , , , , .a b c d e i o u



DisJunction of SentencesDisJunction of Sentences

When two or more sentences are joined by the word or to make a compound sentence, the new sentence is called a disjunction of the sentences

Example x < 2 or x > 8 A number is a solution of a disjunction if

it is a solution of at least one of the separate parts. For example, x = 12 is a solution since 12 > 8.



Disjunction of SetsDisjunction of Sets

Note that the solution set of a disjunction is the union of the solution sets of the individual sentences.

Mathematical use of “or”Mathematical use of “or”

The word “or” corresponds to “union” and to the symbol ( or sometimes “U”) for a number to be a solution of a disjunction, it must be in at least one of the solution sets of the individual sentences.

Example Example [10°C, 20°C] → °F [10°C, 20°C] → °F

The weather in London is predicted to range between 10º and 20º Celsius during the three-week period you will be working there.

To decide what kind of clothes to bring, you want to convert the temperature range to Fahrenheit temperatures.




Familiarize: The formula for converting Celsius temperature C to Fahrenheit temperature F is

F 9

5C 32.

Use this Formula to determine the temperature we expect to find in London during the visit there
