Linear and Quadratic inequalities

Very Important

  • If a$$x^{2}$$+bx+c < 0 then a(x-m)(x-n) < 0.
    If a>0 and n>m, then m < x < n
    if a<0 and n>m, then x < m and x > n
  • If a$$x^{2}$$+bx+c > 0 then a(x-m)(x-n) > 0.
    If a>0 and n>m, then x < m and x > n
    if a<0 and n>m, then m < x < n
  • If a$$x^{2}$$+bx+c > 0 but m = n, then the value of x exists for all values, except x is equal to m, i.e., x < m and x > m but x ≠ m
  • If a, x, b are positive, ax > b => x > $$\dfrac{b}{a}$$ and ax < b => x < $$\dfrac{b}{a}$$
