Inequalities and Wavy Curve Method

This document provides instruction on solving inequalities using the wavy curve method. It begins by asking the reader to solve some sample inequalities involving one or more factors. It then introduces the wavy curve method, which involves setting each factor equal to zero, placing the corresponding x-values on a number line, and alternating the signs moving left to right. The document walks through examples of using this method to determine the solution intervals for inequalities with multiple factors. It also addresses solving simultaneous inequalities.

Wavy curve Method
So far we,have learnt solving equations mostly, in mathematics. Now
let’s start dealing with inequations.

By end of this method we will solve following question in 10 seconds.


Q Solve for x:

1. x - 3 > 0

2. 3x - 2 < 0

3. -3x + 2 < 0
Q Solve for x: (x - 1) (x - 4) < 0
Q Solve for x: (x - 1) (x - 4) < 0

Solution :
(x - 1) (x - 4) < 0
We should want those values of x for which

(x - 1) and (x - 4) are of opposite sign


- + +
(x - 1)
- - +
(x - 4)
+ 1 - 4 +
(x - 1) (x - 4)
Q Solve for x: (x - 3) (x - 5) > 0
Q Solve for x: (x - 3) (x - 5) > 0

Solution :
Solve (x - 3) (x - 5) < 0
- + +
(x - 3)
- - +
(x - 5) x ∈ (-∞, 3) ∪ (5, ∞)
+ 3 - 5 +
(x - 3) (x - 5)
Steps of Wavy curve Method:

Make sure RHS is zero & coefficient of x in all the factors is +ve.

Step 1: Put all factors equal to zero & mark corresponding values of
x on real line.

Step 2: Put + on extreme right & change the sign alternatively


moving toward left.
Q Solve for x: (x - 1) (x - 4) > 0
Q Solve for x: (x - 1) (x - 4) > 0

Solution :
(x - 1) (x - 4) > 0
x = 1, 4

x ∈ (-∞, 1) ∪ (4, ∞)
Q Solve for x: (3x - 2) (x - 4) ≤ 0
Q Solve for x: (3x - 2) (x - 4) ≤ 0

Solution :
(3x - 2) (x - 4) ≤ 0

Q Solve for x: (x - 3) (4x - 1) (x + 2) ≤ 0
Q Solve for x: (x - 3) (4x - 1) (x + 2) ≤ 0

Solution :
(x - 3) (4x - 1) (x + 2) ≤ 0

Solution :
Q (x2 + 1) (x - 2) (x - 4) > 0
Q (x2 + 1) (x - 2) (x - 4) > 0

Solution : Since (x2 + 1) is always positive it will not effect the


inequality.
Thus
(x – 2) (x – 4) > 0
x = 2, 4
Q Solve for x: x2 < 9
