2. Lesson 5.4 WarmUp:
Solve each inequality.
1) ­8 + 4a < 6a
2) 2y + 11 > 24y
3) 2x + 11 < 5x ­ 10
4) 18 ­ 3(8c + 4) > ­6(4c ­ 1)
5) 46 < 8m ­ 4(2m + 5)

3. Lesson 5.4:
*FYI...some rides at Six Flags have minimum and maximum heights for
riders...
must be at least 52 inches: h > 52
cannot be taller than 72 inches: h < 72
SO...this would be shown as: 52 < h < 72
This is called a COMPOUND INEQUALITY!
*A compound inequality containing and is only true if both inequalities
are true. This is called the intersection of the 2 graphs.
ie... x > 3 and x < 7 would be:
3

4. *A compound inequality containing or is only true if both inequalities are
true. This is called the union of the 2 graphs.
ie... x > 2 or x < ­1 would be:
4

5. Lesson 5.4 examples:
Solve each compound inequality. Then graph the solution set.
A) 4 < p ­ 8 and p ­ 14 < 2
B) 4a + 7 > 31 or a > 5
