3. Solving Inequalities Using Multiplication or Division
Sign In
Inequalities can be solved in a way similar to how we solve equations, by performing inverse operations until the variable is isolated.
Solution: y < 4
Graphing Calculator:
To solve this inequality using a calculator we begin by pressing Y=. Then, we write it on the first row. Notice that we will use x as our variable, as this is the only variable we are allowed to write using the calculator.
To draw the inequality we press GRAPH.
We can see from the graph that the solution set lies to the left of 4. Therefore, our answer is correct.
