An inequality is used to show that one expression may not be equal to another.

A region is an area that graphically represents the solutions to one or more inequalities. Every coordinate pair within the region satisfies the inequalities that define the region.

In this unit, pupils will learn how to extend their understanding of solving equations and extend this to consider inequalities. Pupils will consider a variety of inequalities and ways that their solutions can be represented.

In this unit, pupils extend their understanding of inequalities and consider a range of contextual inequalities and ways to find and represent their solutions.

Inequalities

This region satisfies both inequalities $$x>-5$$ and $$y<3$$...

Which region satisfies both inequalities simultaneously? $$y<-x$$ and $$x>-5$$

Which coordinate pairs satisfy both of these inequalities simultaneously? $$y<x$$ and $$y>2$$

In which region are all three of these inequalities satisfied simultaneously? $$y<4$$, $$y>x-3$$ and $$y>-x-2$$

In which region are all three of these inequalities satisfied simultaneously? $$y<4$$, $$y<x-3$$ and $$y>-x-2$$

No region can satisfy all three simultaneously

In which region are all three of these inequalities satisfied simultaneously? $$y>4$$, $$y<x-3$$ and $$y<-x-2$$
