PROPERTY OF EXPONENTIAL INEQUALITIES
𝒙 𝟐(𝒙 −𝟐) ❑
𝟑 <𝟑
❑ The base, 3, is greater than 1
𝒙 𝟐 𝒙− 𝟒
𝟑 <𝟑 ❑❑
therefore the direction of
𝒙< 𝟐 𝒙 −𝟒
inequality is retained.
𝟒 <𝟐 𝒙 − 𝒙
𝟒<𝒙 Solution set:
Examples:
2. (
𝑥+5 ≤ 6 𝑥
(
5 ≤6 𝑥 − 𝑥
(
5 ≤5 𝑥
(
1≤ 𝑥 Solution set: )
𝑥+5 ≤ 6 𝑥
The base is greater than 0 but less than 1,
therefore the direction of inequality is
reversed.
Examples:
Solve the inequalities:
3.
The base, 5, is greater than 1
therefore the direction of
3 inequality is retained.
Solution set:
Examples:
4. (

𝑥 ≤ −2 −1
(
𝑥 ≤ −3
Solution set: (]
(
The base is greater than 0 but less than 1,
therefore the direction of inequality is
reversed.
