How to write an inequality from a word problem?
Q. We are doing a review about inequalities and I was doing just fine until I go to this problem. "Devon tosses a horseshoe at a stake 30 feet away. The horseshoe lands no more than 3 feet from the stake. (a) Write an absolute value inequality that represents the range of distances that the horseshoe travels. (b) Solve the inequality." I can solve the inequality no problem, but I can't think of a way to write this. I am sure it is easy, but I just can't think of anything right now. Any help would be great. Thanks to anyone who answers.

A. Since the horseshoe is no more than 3 ft from the stake, it has traveled between 27 and 33 feet. THAT would be the answer, though. The inequality would look like this: -3 < x - 30 < 3 and, you see, if you add 30 to each part, you get: 27 < x < 33 which is correct. that's it! ;)

How can you determine whether an inequality will always be true or never true?
Q. How can you determine it? And can you give me an inequality that will always be true and an inequality that will never be true?
Asked by Rudy - Tue Dec 11 21:12:16 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Always true: 0 < 1 Never true: 1 < 0 If the equality compares two constants you can see that it is either true or false and will always be so. If it compares two variable expressions then you would have to use logic to determine conditions for the specific inequality. -x < x (always true for x > 0; always false for x <= 0)

What is the area of the region defined by the inequality?
Q. What is the area of the region defined by the inequality x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 6y <= 3? (greater than or equal to 3) This is a problem I got wrong in Algebra review that I have never been able to figure out. Can someone who understands this help me to figure out this problem so if I run into another one like it I will get it right next time. Thank you sooo much for answering.

A. once you graph the line you can see that you will need to go LARGER and equal (solid line) to 3. i always switch the equation so i'm looking at it from X and Ys point of view and you want to go toward the left for the Xs and Down for the Ys since they're SMALLER. hope this helps!
