What is the difference between inequalities and equations?
Equation: A statement that asserts that two mathematical expressions are equal in value. If this is true for all values of the variables involved then it is called an identity, and where it is only true for some values it is called a conditional equation. Inequality: A statement that uses the symbols > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), ≤ ( less than or equal to) to indicate that one of the quantity is larger or smaller than another. An inequality holds for all values of the variables involved. If a statement that uses one of the symbols above holds only for some values of the variables involved then it is called an inequation. An inequality is comparable to an identity. If you'd want to put it into easier kid friendly words, an inequality is a statement where two sides of the inequality are not equal. Equations on the other hand, two sides should always be equal, no mater how messed up hard one side might look to you. Trust me I've been there.
What is the similarities of solving equations and inequalities?
You solve an inequality in exactly the same was as you solve an equation, by doing the same thing to both sides. The only difference is if you multiply/divide by a negative number, when you have to turn the inequality around.
Why does the inequality sign change when both sides are multiplied or divided by a negative number Does this happen with equations Why or why notWrite an inequality for your classmates to solve I?
-x > a iff** x < -a This is easy to see intuitively by coloring a number line. ** "if and only if"
What is the inequality of x2?
Without further information, the only inequality is x2 ≥ 0 (assuming x is real). In the complex domain, there is no inequality.
What kind of Chinese symbols are there?
There are no symbols, only characters.
