Lesson 6-4 Example 1 Graph an Intersection Graph the solution set of x > -0.5 and x < 4.5.

Graph x > -0.5.

Graph x < 4.5.

Find the intersection. The solution set is {x -0.5 < x < 4.5}. Note that the graph of x > -0.5 does not include the point 0.5. The graph of x < 4.5 does not include 4.5. Example 2 Solve and Graph an Intersection Solve 3 3x +6 < 12. Then graph the solution set. First express 3 3x +6 < 12 using and. Then solve each inequality. and 3x +6 < 12 3 3x +6 3 6 3x +6 6 3x +6 6 < 12 6 3x < 6 -9 3x

x<2 The solution set is the intersection of the two graphs.

9 3x 3 3 -3 x

3x 6 < 3 3

Graph -3 x or x -3.

Graph x < 2.

Find the intersection. The solution set is {x -3 x < 2}.

Example 3 Write and Graph a Compound Inequality A movie theater charges different prices for different ages. A child under 13 is $5.95, an adult 13 to 65 is $8.95 while a senior citizen (65 and older) pays $5.95. Write and graph an inequality that describes the ages that will pay $5.95. Words Variable Inequality A child under 13 will pay $5.95 and a senior citizen 65 and older will pay $5.95. Let a be the age that will pay $5.95. is greater than age is less than 13 or age or equal to 65 a < 13 or a

65

Now, graph the solution set.

Graph a < 13.

Graph a 65.

Find the union. a < 13 or a 65

Example 4 Solve and Graph a Union Solve 2a 1 > 13 or 6a + 11 -1. Then graph the solution set. 2a 1 > 13 or 6a + 11 -1 2a 1 + 1 > 13 + 1 -6a + 11 11 -1 11 2a > 14 -6a -12

2a 14 > 2 2
a>7 The solution set is the union of the two graphs.

6a 12 6 6 a 2

Graph a > 7.

Graph a 2.

Find the Union. The solution set is {a a 2 or a > 7}.
