LINEAR INEQUALITIES

There are different signs used in inequalities.

> Greater than

 < Less than

  ≥ Greater or equal to

 ≤ Less or equal to

Image From EcoleBooks.com = Not equal to

Example 1

Consider a bus with x people in it.

(a)If there are 40 people then x= 40, this is an equation not inequality.

Image From EcoleBooks.comImage From EcoleBooks.comImage From EcoleBooks.comImage From EcoleBooks.com(b)If there are less than 30 people in the bus then x 30 where means less than this is an inequality. It literally means that the no of people in the bus is not up to 30.

 

Example 2

Find the range of value of x for which

7x – 6 ≥ 15

7x ≥ 15 + 6

7 x ≥ 21

x≥ 3

 

Example 3:Solve the inequality

12x -7≥ 13 + 2x

12x-2x≥13+7

10x≥20

x≥2

 

Evaluation

Solve the inequalities

1. 3x -10 < 2

2.Given that x is an integer, find the three greatest values of x which satisfies the inequality 7x+15≥2x

 

Inequalities with Reversing Symbols

Anytime an inequality is divided or multiplied by a negative value, the symbol is reversed to satisfy the inequality.

 

Example

Solve:  14- 2a < 4

 – 2a < 4 – 14

 – 2a < -10

Divide both sides by -2 and reverse the sign (symbols).

a > 5

 

Check:

If a > 5,then possible values of a are : 6,7,8,…

Substituting, a=6

14 – 2(6) < 4

14 -12 < 4

2 < 4

 

Image From EcoleBooks.com2  2 – 3x ≤ 2(1-x)

 Multiply through by 3 or put the like terms together

2-9x≤6(1-x)

2 – 9x ≤6-6x

– 9x + 6x ≤ 6-2

– 3x ≤ 4

APPLICATION OF LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN REAL LIFE.

Greatest and Least Values

Example

Draw a diagram to show the region which satisfies the following inequalities.

5x + y – 4, x + y 4, y x + 2, y – 2x – 4

Find the greatest and the least value of the linear function F = x + 2y within the region.

Solution

For the inequality 5x + y – 4, first draw the line 5x + y = – 4.

When x = 0, y = 4, when x = -1, y = 1

Add a third point on your own and then draw line 5x + y = -4. You may need to extend the axes to do this:

Now use a test point such as x = 0, y = 0

When x = 0, y = 0, then 0 – 4 is true, so shade the region below the line 5x + y = -4.

For the inequality x + y 4, first draw the line x + y = 4.

When x = 0, y = 4 and when y = 0, x = 4.

So draw a line that passes through (0, 4) and (4, 0).

Test point: (0, 0), so 0 4 is true. Shade the region above the line.

Similarly, for y x + 2 and y – 2x – 4, shade the unwanted regions.

The required region is labeled as R as shown. R is also called the feasible region (i.e. the region that satisfies a set of inequalities).

The greatest (maximum) and the least (minimum) of any linear function such as F = x + 2y occurs at the vertices (corner points) of the region which satisfies the given set of the inequalities.

 

At  A(-1, 1) F = x + 2y

F = -1 + 2 = 1

At  B(1, 3) F = x + 2y

 F = 1 + 6 = 7

At  C(2.67, 1.33) F = x + 2y

 F = 2.67 + 2.66 = 5.33

At  D(0, -4) F = x + 2y

F = 0 – 8 = -8

 

F = x + 2y is least at the point D(0, 4).

F = x + 2y is greatest at the point B(1, 3).

 

Note: The coordinates at point C can also be found by solving the simultaneous equations x + y = 4 and y – 2x = -4,

Which gives x = and y = .

Linear Programming

In many real-life situations in business and commerce there are restrictions or constraints, which can affect decision-making. Typical restrictions might be the amount of money available for a project, storage constraints, or the number of skilled people in a labour force. In this section we will see that problems involving restrictions can often be solved by using the graphs of linear inequalities. This method is called linear programming. Linear programming can be used to solve many realistic problems.

 

Example 1

A student has N500. She buys pencils at N50 each and erasers at N20 each. She gets at least five of each and the money spent on pencils is over N100 more than that spent on erasers.

Find  a. How many ways the money can be spent,

b. The greatest number of pencils that can be bought,

 c. The greatest number of erasers that can be bought.

Let the student buy x pencils at N50 and y erasers at N20.

From the first two sentences,

50x + 20y 500

5x + 2y < 50  (1)

Since she gets at least five of each,

x 5 (2)

y 5 (3)

From the third sentence,

5x – 2y > 10

Inequalities (1), (2), (3) and (4) are shown below

SIMPLIFICATION OF ALGEBRAIC FRACTIONS.

To simplify an algebraic fraction:

  1. Factorise the numerator and the denominator of the fraction, where possible.
  2. Divide the numerator and the denominator by the common factors. This process is sometimes known as cancelling a fraction. When a fraction cannot be reduced any further, we say the fraction is in its lowest or simplestform.

    When simplifying a fraction, remember the following facts:

    1. x2 – y2 = (x + y)(x + y) – difference of two squares.
    2. (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2

      (x – y)2 = x2 – 2xy + y2  (Perfect Squares)

    3. = –
    4. =
    5. =
    6. = x = m
    7. To factorise x2 – 5x + 6, we have:

      X2 – 5x + 6 = x2 -2x – 3x + 6

      = x(x – 2) – 3(x – 2)

      = (x – 2)(x – 3)

Example 1

Simplify the following fractions:

e.g. 10 – 4 = -(4 – 10)

 i.e. 6 = -4 + 10

  6 = 6

-Conditional Statements and Indirect Proofs.

 

SIMPLE AND COMPOUND PROPOSITIONS

A preposition is a statement or a sentence that is either true or false but not both. We shall use upper case letters of English alphabets such as A, B, C, D, P, Q, R, S, …, to stand for simple statements or prepositions. A simple statement or proposition is a statement containing no connectives. In other words a proposition is considered simple if it cannot be broken up into sub-propositions. On the other hand, a compound proposition is made up of two or more propositions joined by the connectives. These connectives are and, or, if …then, if and only if. They are also called logic operators. The table below shows the logic operators and their symbols.

Figure 1

Logic Operator

And

or

if … then

if and only if

Not

  1. The statement P is known as the negation of P. thus P means not P or ‘it is false that P…’ or ‘it is not true that P…’
  2. If P and Q are two statements (or propositions), then:
    1. The statement P Q is called the conjunction of P and Q. thus, P Q means P and Q.
    2. The statement P Q is called the disjunction of P and Q. thus, P Q means either P or Q or both P and Q. notice that the inclusive or is used.
  3. The statement P Q is called the conditional of P and Q. a conditional is also known as implication P Q means if P then Q or P implies Q.
  4. The statement P Q is called the biconditional of P and Q, where the symbol means if and only if (or iff for short). Thus P Q means P Q and Q P.

 

The Truth Tables

The truth or falsity of a proposition is its truth value, ie. A proposition that is true has a truth value T and a proposition that is false has a truth value F. the truth tables for the logical operators are given below.

P Q is false when P is P Q is true when both P and Q are

true and Q is false either both true or both false.

 

Example 1

Translate the following into symbols and then determine which statements are true or false.

  1. -5 < 8 and 2 < - 50
  2. 4 right angles = 360o or opposite angles of any quadrilateral and supplementary.
  3. If a person is 20 years old, then the person is a teenager.
  4. 2x – 5 = 9 if and only if x = 7.

 

Solution

  1. Let P = (-5 < 8); Q = (2 < -50)

    P – -5 < 8 is true (T)

    Q = 2 < -50 is false (F)

    symbolic for: P Q is false

    (see 2nd row of fig 3)

  2. Let P = (4 right angles = 360o)

    Q (opposite angles of any quadrilateral are supplementary).

    P is true (T) and Q is false (F)

    PQ is true (see 2nd row of fig 4)

  3. Let P = a person is 20 years old.

    Q = a person is a teenager.

    P is T and Q is F

    PQ is false (see 2nd row of fig 5)

  4. 2x – 5 = 9 if and only if x = 7

    Let P = (2x – 5 = 9) and Q = (x = 7)

    When x = 7, 2x – 5 = 2 X 7 – 5

    = 14 – 5 = 9 (T)

    Both P and W have the same T values.

    PQ is true (see 1st row of fig 6)

 

Converse, Inverse and Contrapositive of Conditional Statement

Converse statement

The converse of the conditional statement ‘if P then Q’ is the conditional statement ‘if Q then P’, i.e. the converse of P Q is Q P.

 

Inverse statement

The inverse of the conditional statement ‘if P then Q’ is the conditional statement ‘if not P then not Q’.

i.e. the inverse of P Q is P Q.

 

Contrapositive statement

The converse of the conditional statement ‘if P then Q’ is the conditional statement ‘if not Q then not P’.

i.e. the contrapositive of P Q is P .

 

Example

Give the (a) converse (b) inverse

(c) contrapositive of the following:

(i) If 9 < 19, then 8 < 5 + 6.

(ii) if two triangles are equiangular, then their corresponding sides are proportional.

 

Solution

  1. (i) if 8 < 5 + 6 9 < 19.

    (ii) If two triangles have their corresponding sides proportional, then they are equiangular.

  2. (i) if 9 19 8 5 + 6.

    (ii) If two triangles are not equiangular, then their corresponding sides are not proportional

  3. (i) if 8 + 6 9 19

    (ii) if two triangles do not have their corresponding sides proportional, then they are not equiangular

Tautology and Contradiction

When a compound proposition is always true for every combination of values of its constituent statements, it is called a tautology. On the other hand, when the proposition is always false it is called a contradiction.

Example

Construct the truth tables to show that:

(a) P (P) is a tautology

(b) (P Q) [(P) V (Q)] is a contradiction.

 

Solution

Column (5) shows that the truth table of (P Q) [(P) V (Q)] is always F, so it is a contradiction.

 

Example

Find the truth values of the following when the variables P, Q and R are all true. (a) P Q (b) (P Q) VR

Solution

  1. P Q

    Substituting the truth values directly into the statement P Q, we have T T.

    But T is the same as F.

     T T gives  F F

    Simplify the disjunction:  F

     The compound statement P Q is false.

  2. (P Q) VR

    Substituting the truth values: (T T) VT

    Within brackets, negate:  (T F) VT

    Simplify brackets:   F VT

     T V F

    Simplify disjunction: T

     (P Q) VR is true.

 

Example

Determine the validity of the argument below with premises X1 and X2 and conclusion S.

X1 = All doctors are intelligent

X2: Some Nigerians are doctors

S: Some Nigerians are intelligent

 

In the Venn diagram

= {all people}

Let I = {intelligent people}

N = {Nigerians}

D = {doctors}

 

Image From EcoleBooks.com

Image From EcoleBooks.com   I N  

  D  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The structure of the argument is shown in figure above. The shaded region represents N I, those Nigerians who are intelligent. The conclusion that some Nigerians are intelligent therefore follows from the premises, and the argument is valid.

 

Example

In the following argument, find whether or not the conclusion necessarily follows from the premise. Draw an appropriate Venn diagram and support your answer with a reason.

London is in Nigeria

Nigeria is in Africa.

Therefore London is in Africa

 

The figurebelowshows the data in a Venn diagram.

Image From EcoleBooks.com

Nigeria

 

Image From EcoleBooks.com

Image From EcoleBooks.com Africa

London

 

 

 

From the figure above, the conclusion follows from the premises, L N and N A. the argument is therefore valid.

Notice, however, that the conclusion in untrue because the first premise ‘London is in Nigeria‘ is untrue. Therefore, we may have an argument that is valid but in which the conclusion is untrue.

 

THE CHAIN RULE

The chain rule states that if X, Y and Z are statements such that X Y and Y Z, then X Z. a chain of statements can have as many ‘links’ as necessary. Example 5 is an example of the chain rule.

 

When using chain rule. It is essential that the implication arrows point in the same direction. It is not of much value, for example, to have something like X Q R because no useful deductions can be made from it.

 

Example

In the following argument, determine whether or not the conclusion necessarily follows from the given premises.

All drivers are careful. (1st premise)

Careful people are patient (2nd premise)

Therefore all drivers are patient (conclusion)

 

If  D: people who are drivers

 C: people who are careful

 P: people who are patient

Then  D C (1st premise)

And  C P (2nd premise)

If  D C  and  C P

Then  D P (chain rule)

The conclusion follows from the premises.

 

Example

Determine the validity of each of the proposed conclusions if the premises of an argument are

X: Teachers are contented people.

Y: Every doctor is rich

Z: No one who is contented is also rich.

 

Proposed conclusions

S1: No teacher is rich

S2: Doctors are contented people

S3: No one can be both a teacher and a doctor.

Let  C = {contented people}

T = {teachers}

D = {doctors}

R = {rich people}

The figure below is a Venn diagram for the premises.

Image From EcoleBooks.com

Image From EcoleBooks.comImage From EcoleBooks.com

  T D

C R  

 
 

 

 

 

From the figure, the following conclusions can be deduced.

i. S1 is true, i.e. no teacher is rich. (T R = )

ii. S2 is false, i.e. doctors are contented people is false. (D C = )

iii. S3 is true, i.e. no one can be a teacher and a doctor. (T D = )

 

CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS AND INDIRECT PROOFS.

Another method we can use to determine the validity of arguments especially the more complex ones is to construct the truth tables as will be seen in the following examples.

 

Example 1

Write the argument below symbolically and determine whether the argument is valid.

1st premise:  if tortoises eat well, then they live long

2nd premise:  Tortoises eat well.

Conclusion:  Tortoises live long.

 

Solution

To determine the truth value, the steps are:

  1. Write the arguments in symbolic forms.

    Let P = ‘tortoises eat well’

     Q = ‘they live long’.

    1st premise becomes P Q.

    2nd premise is P and the conclusion is Q.

    the argument is written as follows:

    P Q  (if P happens, then Q will happen)

Since the compound statement

[(P Q) P] Q is always a tautology, (i.e. has a truth value T), the argument is valid. This type of argument is called direct reasoning or modus ponems

 

Example 2

Determine whether the following argument is valid.

If you study this book, then you will pass WAEC.

If you pass WAEC, then you will go to university

Therefore, if you study this book, then you will to go university.

 

Solution

  1. Let P: you study this book

    Q: you will pass WAEC.

    R: you will go to university.

    If you study this book, then you will pass WAEC becomes P Q.

    If you pass WAEC, then you will go to university becomes Q R.

    Therefore, if you study this book, then you will go to university becomes P R.

    The above may be written as follows:

    1st premise:  P Q

    2nd premise:  Q R

    Conclusion:  P R

  2. From the conjunction of the premises as (P Q) (Q R)

TOPIC:TANGENTS FROM AN EXTERNAL POINT

Theorem:

The tangents to a circle from an external point are equal.

Given: a point T outside a circle, centre O, TA and TB are tangents to the circle at A and B.

To prove: |TA| = |TB|

Construction: Join OA, OB and OT

In ∆s OAT and OBT

Image From EcoleBooks.comImage From EcoleBooks.comOAT = OBT = 900 (radius tangent)

|OA| = |OB| (radii)

|OT| = |OT| (common side)

∆OAT = ∆OBT (RHS)

|TA| = |TB|

 

Note that between the tangents and the angle between the radii drawn to the points of contact of the tangents.

 

Example:

Image From EcoleBooks.com1.In the figure below O is the centre of the circle and the TA and TB are tangents if 0, calculate < TBX

 

 

 

 

In ∆TAX

AXT = 900 (Symmetry)

TAX = 180 – (900 + 390) sum of angles of ()

1800 – 1290 = 510

TBX = 510 (symmetry)

OR

∆ ATB is an Isosceles triangle

|AT| =|BT| (tangents from external point)

0 (symmetry)

< ATB = 2(39) = 780

2TBX = 1800 – 780 (sum of angle in a

2 TBX = 1020

TBX= 1020  

2

TBX = 510

 

2.PQR are three points on a circle Centre O. The tangent at P and Q meet at T. If < PTQ = 620 calculate PRQ.

Solution

Join OP and OQ

In quadrilateral TQOP

0 (radius 1 tangent)

POQ = 3600 – (900 + 900 + 620) sum of angle in a quadrilateral)

POQ = 3600 – 2420

POQ = 1180

PRQ = 1180 = 590 (2x angle at circumference = angle at centre)

  2

PR1QR is a cyclic quadrilateral

R + R1 = 1800 (opp. angles of a cyclic quadrilateral )

R1 = 1800 – R

R1 = 1800 – 590

R1 = 1210

PRQ = 590 or 1210
