Quadratic inequality (in one variable) is an inequality with one unknown (usually x ) of
degree 2.
Simply put, it is like a quadratic equation but the equal sign is replaced by <, >, ≤, or ≥. It
can be written in the following forms:
2 2
ax +bx +c >0 ax +bx +c ≥0
2 2
ax +bx +c <0 ax +bx +c ≤0

Examples of Quadratic Inequalities

1. x 2> 0 3. w 2 ≥ 2 w2 +5
2. y 2 <1− y 4. 4 x 2 ≤ 3 x−3

Let’s Practice

Example 1
Determine whether( x +5)2−5 x+1< 0.
Solution:
Simplify the Inequality
2
( x +5) −5 x+1< 0

(x ¿¿ 2+5 x+5 x +25)−5 x +1<0 ¿


(x ¿¿ 2+10 x+25)−5 x +1<0 ¿
2
x + 10 x −5 x +1+25< 0
2
x + 5 x +26< 0
Notice that a quadratic inequality is formed when simplified. Thus, it is a quadratic
inequality.

Example 2
Determine whether 11 x +2>0 is a quadratic inequality or not..

Solution:
It is not a quadratic inequality because the degree of the variable x is 1.
Unit 2 Quadratic Equation
Lesson1 Introduction to Quadratic Inequalities pg. 2
Instead, it is a linear inequality.

Example 3
Determine whether7 y ( y−5 ) >7 y 2 −10 is a quadratic inequality or not.

Solution:
We cannot conclude that since there is an exponent 2, the inequality is quadratic.
We first have to simplify the inequality.

2
7 y ( y−5 ) >7 y −10
2 2
7 y −35 y >7 y −10
2 2
7 y −7 y −35 y +10> 0
−35 y +10>0
Notice that a linear inequality is formed when simplified. Thus, it is not a quadratic
inequality.

Example 4
Given that3 x 2+ 2 x−5< 0 which of the following values of x will make the
inequality true?

a. x=0 b. x=1 c. x=2

Solution:

Let us substitute the values of x in the given inequality.


a. when x=0
2
3 x + 2 x−5< 0
2
3(0) +2(0)−5<0
0+ 0−5< 0
−5<0
Since −5<0 is true the inequality is true for x=0.
b. when x=1

2
3 x + 2 x−5< 0
2
3(1) +2(1)−5<0

3(1)+2(1)−5<0
3+2−5<0
5−5<0

0< 0
Since 0< 0 is false the inequality is not true for x=1.
c. when x=2
2
3 x + 2 x−5< 0
2
3(2) +2(2)−5<0

3(4)+2(2)−5< 0
12+4−5< 0
16−5<0
11< 0
Since 11< 0 is false the inequality is not true for x=2.

To transform a quadratic inequality into its standard form, you manipulate it so that all terms are on one side of the inequality sign and the expression equals zero on the other side. For example, the inequality 2+x^2>2x is transformed to x^2-2x+2>0 . This transformation is significant because it allows one to apply techniques for solving quadratic equations, such as factorization or using the quadratic formula, to find the solution set of the inequality .

Simplifying an expression is necessary to accurately determine whether it is a quadratic inequality. Simplification can reveal the actual degree of the inequality by removing terms or combining like terms, which is crucial for proper classification. For instance, the expression 7y(y-5)>7y^2-10 simplifies to a linear inequality, confirming it is not quadratic .

A quadratic inequality in one variable is an inequality involving a quadratic expression that uses signs such as <, >, ≤, or ≥ instead of the equals sign used in quadratic equations. Unlike quadratic equations, which are set equal to zero, quadratic inequalities determine a range of values for which the inequality holds true .

Identifying the intervals involves solving the related quadratic equation to find critical points, then testing intervals between these points to see where the inequality holds true. This provides the set of solutions to the inequality, crucial for practical problems where a range of values are significant, not solely specific solutions .

To determine if 3x^2+2x-5<0 holds for specific x values, substitute each x value into the expression, calculate the result, and check if the inequality is satisfied. For example, for x=0, substituting gives -5<0, which is true; at x=1, it gives 0<0, which is false .

To determine if a given value is a solution to a quadratic inequality, you substitute the value into the inequality and simplify. If the inequality holds true after substitution, then the value is a solution. For example, for the inequality 3x^2+2x-5<0, testing x=0 results in -5<0, which is true, showing that x=0 is a solution .

Transforming a quadratic inequality to standard form means restructuring the inequality so all terms are relocated to one side of the inequality, resulting in zero on the other side. For instance, 2+x^2>2x becomes x^2-2x+2>0 by moving all terms to form the standard inequality expression .

The process involves expanding and simplifying the inequality to determine its degree. For 7y(y-5)>7y^2-10, simplification results in -35y+10>0, revealing a linear inequality, not quadratic. This is crucial for correctly identifying the nature of the inequality .

Transforming to standard form is useful when solving for the solution set of a quadratic inequality, as it facilitates techniques like graphing or using the quadratic formula. It simplifies problem-solving by making the inequality resemble a standard quadratic equation, easing identification of critical points and solution intervals .

Identifying an equation as a quadratic inequality is crucial because it dictates the appropriate method for finding solutions, such as testing intervals and determining solution sets, rather than single values. Misidentifying the equation can lead to incorrect analysis and solutions .
