4. Inequality
In mathematics, an inequality is a relation that holds between
two values when they are different.
This comparison is expressed by using the inequality symbols

5. These four expression are equivalent
a is greater than b
a is less than b
a b
a b

6. The symbol means ; either ora b a b a b
These four expression are equivalent
a is greater than or equal to ba b
a is less than or equal to ba b

7. The symbols < and > are called strict inequality, and the symbols
and are called weak inequalities
Rules for working with inequalities symbols

Subtraction
Multiplication
Division

8. Summary of operation on inequalities
You can add or subtract a number on both side of an inequality.
You can multiply or divide an inequality by a positive number.
You can multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, but you
must change the direction of inequality.

12. Examples
As the altitude of a shuttle increases, an astronaut’s weight decreases
until a state of weightless is achieved. The weight of a 125-lb astronaut at
an altitude of x kilometer above see level is given by
At what altitude is the astronaut’s weight less then 5lb?

21. Graph and coordinate
A rectangular coordinate system is a pair of perpendicular coordinate lines,
called coordinate axes, which are placed so that they intersect at their origins.

22. The labeling of axis's with letters x and y is a common convention, but any
letters may be used. If the letter x and y are used to label the coordinate
axes, then the resulting plane is called xy-plane. In applications it is
common to use letters other than x and y is shown In the following figures,
as uv-plane and ts-plane.

24. For example if we take (a,b)=(4,3), then on coordinate plane
To plot a point P(a,b) means to locate the point with coordinates (a,b) in a
coordinate plane. For example, different points are plotted.
