9. Refer to example 5 to answer the questions.

a. How do you find the total cost of 15 pounds of peanuts that
cost $4 per pound? Write the expression that represents the
total cost of 15 pounds of peanuts.

b. How do you find the total cost of x pounds of cashews that cost
$7 per pound? Find an expression for the total cost of x pounds
of cashews.

c. How much do x pounds of cashews and 15 pounds of peanuts
weight when they are mixed together?

d. How do you find the total cost of x + 15 pounds of mixed nuts
that cost $4 per pound?

e. Finish solving the problem and compare your work to the work in
the example. Does the answer make sense?

Section 3.6 Linear Inequalities
Read section 3.6, pages 174 – 182 and answer the following questions as you
read:

1. What is a linear inequality in one variable? How is it different from a
linear equation in one variable?

2. What does it mean to solve an inequality?

3. Why do we graph solution sets of inequalities?

4. Give an inequality that could have the solution set graphed below.
Label three points on the number line that correspond to solutions.

5. Which properties of inequalities are the same as the properties of
equality?

6. Which properties of inequalities are different from the properties of
equality? How are they different?

7. Write the words that you say when you read {x|x < 4}. What is this
notation called?

8. When do you reverse the inequality symbol? Why does this work?

9. How can you check your solutions after you solve an inequality?

10. What is a compound inequality?

11. What type of compound inequality can be written as a double
inequality?

12. Give three numbers that satisfy x<3 and x>2. Graph the solution set.
Write it in set-notation.

13. Give three numbers that satisfy x<3 or x>15. Graph the solution set.
Write it in set-notation.

14. Write an inequality for the statement: x is at most 17.

Section 3.7 Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities
Read section 3.7, pages 186 – 189 and answer the following questions as you
read:

1. What does |x|=3 mean?

2. What are the solutions to |y|=7? Explain.

3. Write the two linear equations equivalent to |x|=12.

4. Write the two linear equations that are equivalent to , then
solve the equations.

5. Write an absolute value equation that has no solution. Make up a
different one than the ones in the reading. Explain why your equation
has no solution.

6. What must be done first in example 3 before the absolute value is
written as two equations without absolute value symbols? How will you
know when to take this step?

7. Rewrite each of the following absolute value inequalities as a
compound inequality. If the statement can also be written as a double
inequality, write the equivalent double inequality.

Absolute value inequality Compound inequality Double inequality (if possible)

8. Do Discussing the Concept in the blue box at the bottom of page 189.
In general, which absolute value inequalities and equations do not have
solutions?

9. What is the midpoint of the interval shown on the number line below?
All of the points in the interval are at most what distance from the
midpoint. Use your answers to write an absolute value inequality that
represents the interval.

10. What skills in this section are new to you and which are skills you
learned in previous sections?
