Key concepts
3 concepts
- 1
A compound inequality combines two simple inequalities with the words "and" or "or."
- 2
With an "or" compound inequality, only one of the inequalities has to be true, but with an "and" compound inequality, both inequalities must be true at the same time.
- 3
When graphing an "and" compound inequality, the solution is where the two plots overlap, meaning both inequalities are true in that range.
