2 If
0<b<1
Then y = is decreasing for all x 7
BE CAREFUL
3 The resulting direction of the
inequality is based whether the base

If the same real number is added to or
subtracted from both sides of an
2 inequality, the sense of the inequality is
not change.
7
If both sides of an inequality are
3 multiplied or divided by the same
positive real number, the sense of the
8
inequality is not change. 9
