inequalities

Inequality is a collection of operators which is used to represent the inequality of algebraic equations. An inequality is a statement of algebraic expression to calculate the value of unknown variables. In general aspect we can say that inequality is used to calculate the algebraic expression that is not same in both sides of equal sign. The term inequality can be applied to any type of statement by using the various types of symbol like ‘>’ (greater then), ‘<’ (less then), ‘<=’ (less then equal to), ‘>=’ (greater then equal to) and so on. The concept of inequality helps the students of Grade VII to understand basic concepts of mathematics.
Here we show you the fundamental properties of inequalities to understand the concept of inequalities:
a)      x, y and z are the real numbers if x ≤ y then x + z ≤ y + z.
b)      x, y and z are the positive real numbers if x ≤ y then xz ≤ yz.
A solution of an inequality is a number which is substituted for the variable makes the inequality a true statement. In the mathematics there are various properties defined for inequality to solve equations. In the next session we are going to discuss Multistep problems.
a) Transitive property: if a > b and b > c then a > c.
b) Addition property: if a > b then a + c > b + c.
c) Multiplication property: if a > b then ab > ac.
d) Subtraction property: if a > b then a – c > b – c.
The above given properties of inequality helps the students to Graphing inequalities into the graph. Inequalities can be performed by solving the inequalities into the algebraic expressions. There are some rules given below:
a)      Adding and subtracting the same number on both sides.
b)      After performing the above rule interchange the sides and changing the orientation of the given inequality symbols.
c)      If needed, then perform the multiplication and division of same positive or negative number on both sides of equal sign then changing the orientation of the inequality symbol.

In the next session we are going to discuss Multistep problems.
