Inequalities Revision Notes

An inequality is an expression connecting two expressions with an inequality sign such as >, <, ≥, or ≤. It shows that one expression is greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to the other expression. The inequality signs have the following meanings: > means greater than; < means less than; ≥ means greater than or equal to; ≤ means less than or equal to. Inequalities can represent ranges of possible values for a variable.
