III. Inequalities Involving Absolute Value (Page 222) What you should learn
How to solve inequalities
Let x be a variable or an algebraic expression and let a be a real involving absolute values
number such that a ≥ 0. The solutions of x < a are all values of
x that sss sssssss s s sss s . The solutions of
x >a are all values of x that sss ssss ssss s s ss sssssss
ssss s .
Example 1: Solve the inequality: x +11 −4≤0

V. Rational Inequalities (Page 226) What you should learn
How to solve rational
To extend the concepts of critical numbers and test intervals to inequalities
rational inequalities, use the fact that the value of a rational
expression can change sign only at its sssss and its
sssssssss ssssss . These two types of numbers make
up the ssssssss sssssss of a rational inequality.
