Sam is planning to buy some items for a function. He is planning to buy more than
10 chocolate packets; more than 15 marshmallow packets and more than 20
dryfruit packets. If chocolate packets are represented by , marshmallow packets
are represented by and dryfruit packets represented by , frame Sam’s requirement
using linear inequalities.

Quadratic Inequalities
Quadratic Inequalities Example
Find the set of values of x for
To solve a Quadratic Inequality, you need to: which:
1) Solve the Quadratic Equation
x2  4x  5  0
2) Sketch a graph of the Equation x2  4x  5  0
3) Decide which is the required set of values Factorise
( x  1)( x  5)  0
x  1 or x  5 1  x  5
 Remember that the solutions are where the
graph crosses the x-axis y

 The graph will be u-shaped. Where it crosses

the y-axis does not matter for this topic
 Then think about which area satisfies the
original inequality
x
-1 5

We want values below 0

Find the set of values of x for
To solve a Quadratic Inequality, you need to: which:
1) Solve the Quadratic Equation
3  5x  2 x2  0
2) Sketch a graph of the Equation 3  5x  2 x2  0
Multiply by
3) Decide which is the required set of values 2 x2  5x  3  0 -1
Factorise
(2 x  1)( x  3)  0
 Remember that the solutions are where the graph x  0.5 or x  3
crosses the x-axis y

 The graph will be n-shaped, looking at the original

x  3 or x  0.5

 Then think about which area satisfies the original
inequality
