okay so we're going to talk about
0:03
graphing
0:05
linear and absolute value inequalities
0:08
but today we're just going to do one
0:09
portion which is just the linear
0:12
equations okay we're not going to talk
0:13
about absolute value till five tomorrow
0:16
or maybe Friday CU I do want to give you
0:18
a chance like absorb it and understand
0:20
it so now why do we use
0:23
graphing uh linear inequalities why is
0:26
this important because I know you guys
0:27
always ask question am I ever going to
0:29
use use this in life sure you will use
0:31
it right example say you want to throw a
0:35
party right for people and then you have
0:39
about $200 that's all you have in your
0:41
budget right and then a large piece that
0:44
cost you about 11 bucks and then soft
0:46
drinks are like 225 per drink right now
0:50
you don't want to spend more than 200
0:52
because that's within your budget now
0:54
you want to be able to have the kind of
0:56
combination that will fall within this
0:58
budget how many drinks and how many
1:01
large pizza can you
1:02
get right with $200 if the pizza cost
1:07
$11 and your drinks cost 225 so this is
1:10
the kind of stuff that we're going to be
1:12
talking about so you can actually use
1:13
mathematics to come up with a
1:15
combination instead of saying well I'm
1:17
going to figure it out but I'm going to
1:18
try to no you say Hey listen when I was
1:20
in a 2 I learned how to do this let me
1:23
do this for you all and they going to
1:24
look at you like
1:26
wow
1:28
amazing there are questions say how many
1:30
people are buying food and drinks for no
1:32
the question is that's how much you have
1:34
and you want to see the question is how
1:36
many pizzas and how many drinks can you
1:39
get $200 right what if you're trying to
1:42
feed like 200 people well obviously
1:45
you're not going to want to Fe 200
1:46
people with $200 that's called what
1:49
common sense right you can feed
1:55
so the equation is like this 11 P right
1:59
Plus
2:00
225 we going to call these drinks we
2:03
want it to be less than or equal to 200
2:05
right we going want to spend 200 so this
2:07
is the equation that we have but then in
2:09
this equation we have what we have
2:12
two
2:14
variables right we have two variables
2:17
and then we want to be able to find the
2:18
kind of combination so how many pizzas
2:20
can I get and how many at the same time
2:22
drinks can I get with
2:24
$200 if each pizza cost me $11 and each
2:29
drink cos me 225 so this why this
2:31
chapter comes in handy so now we're
2:33
going to learn how to do this right so
2:35
this is your real life application
2:37
introduction so that way I don't get the
2:39
same question while I'm teaching am I am
2:41
going to use this in life well yeah you
2:43
are going to use this cuz you now
2:49
have do you normally this you can graph
2:52
it like if you going to do this for like
2:54
an actual th would you normally graph it
2:56
I'll graph it and I for my intersection
2:57
point and I'm going to use that to find
2:59
how many drinks and how many P that I
3:01
can get instead of being like someone
3:03
else going to be like o 200 oh no I want
3:07
use my mathematics I'm going to with
3:09
exact number I would just have somebody
3:11
else do it for me who you I just have
3:14
you money man yes sir uh what's that
3:18
word above within his T within his
3:23
budget combination a combo combo right
3:27
combo all right all right so now that we
3:30
have this formal introduction now we're
3:32
going to learn how to do this right how
3:33
do you
3:35
graph linear inequalities too much Zip
3:39
Zip down there so all right so we're
3:43
going to learn how to graph this here
3:44
right we're going to graph this equation
3:46
Y is greater than -3x - 2 right so I'm
3:50
going to show you the steps to do this
3:51
it's super easy once you get it right so
3:57
step one we're going to graph
4:03
y = -3x - 2 remember we have learn how
4:08
to graph linear equation this is
4:09
probably the easiest function to graph
4:11
right because we know what we know the Y
4:13
intercept and we also know the slope
4:16
right now this line here is going to be
4:19
called we're going to call this line the
4:22
boundary boundary right or the Border
4:25
you want to use border boundary that's
4:27
your problem right and then next
4:30
step
4:31
two we're going to
4:34
find this
4:36
solution
4:38
right by uh graphically by graph or
4:42
graphically if you want to use that word
4:44
graphically that's
4:46
fine graphically okay so now let me go
4:49
ahead and solve this problem for you so
4:50
the first thing we're going to do is
4:52
we're going to graph this equation all
4:54
right somebody help me
4:57
here so what's my slope
5:01
uh3 over one right and then what's my Y
5:05
intercept so I'm going to start with -2
5:07
right so if I'm here I'm going to go up
5:09
how many units I'm going to go down how
5:11
many unit how many unit I'm going to go
5:13
down two two I've already went down two
5:15
I have my y inste so from
5:17
here my slope is what3 so I'm going to
5:20
go down 1 2 3 and over to the right one
5:24
one right so here right so normally I
5:28
will graph this line this way
5:31
right does anybody agree with me on that
5:34
yes or no yes right but now we are not
5:37
just graphing a line we are graphing
5:38
what an inequality this here is just
5:41
this line but what I want to graph is
5:43
what Y is what greater right this
5:46
indicates that this is greater greater
5:50
right this is what we want to graph so
5:52
how do you do this this is where now
5:56
this is a New Concept now the first
5:58
thing is this when whatever your
6:01
inequality sign is either greater or
6:04
less is not a solid L what you have is
6:07
called a dashed line so that means this
6:09
line has to look like this oh right I
6:12
did it on purpose I'm sorry that on P
6:14
right it's a dash line because this is
6:18
more than or less than right if it's
6:21
more than or less than you have a dash
6:22
line because that means the line is not
6:25
part of your solution because it's
6:27
greater it has to be greater right so
6:30
the line is not part anytime you have
6:32
less than or more than alone this is a
6:35
dashed line dashed line and if you have
6:39
more than or equal and less than or
6:41
equal it's called a solid line solid
6:44
line which mean the entire line is okay
6:47
now we're going to figure out what is
6:48
the solution we have two regions I
6:50
already told you that this line is
6:52
called what it's called the boundary of
6:54
the border right this is our boundary so
6:56
now we have two region we're going to
6:57
call this region region one
7:02
and this is region
7:03
two right now which region of this will
7:06
satisfy this condition we don't know yet
7:09
yes sir huh one it'ser than well we
7:14
don't know that yet we have double check
7:16
obviously you can see by observation but
7:18
we don't know we have to use a way to to
7:19
to double check that right so what I do
7:21
is this the easiest way to do this if
7:24
the line is not going through the the
7:25
the point zero here's what I suggest you
7:27
do every time you going to replace both
7:30
Y and X by zero and you're going to see
7:33
if this statement is true right so
7:36
here's what we do so we're going to
7:39
replace this is Step number three
7:43
replace
7:44
both Y and X by zero as long as the line
7:50
is not going through the point zero as
7:52
long as that's not happening you can use
7:53
this every time as long as so I'm going
7:55
to go 0 is greater than -3 * 0 - 2 right
8:01
I'm going to try to see if this
8:02
statement is true or false so 0 this is
8:07
going to cancel out right this is going
8:09
to cancel out because -3 * 0 is 0 so I
8:12
get 0 is more than -2 is this a true
8:14
statement or false statement true right
8:17
true 0 0 is right
8:21
here so since 0 is right here this is
8:23
called and we say that this was true
8:26
Therefore your solution is here
8:30
and this is where you scratch and you
8:32
call this
8:34
solu so this is how you solve this
8:37
problem okay so I'll give you a quick
8:39
recap thanks Mr huh I was just saying
8:43
thank you oh you're welcome I'm
8:46
honed so so first we solve this equation
8:50
Y is greater than -3x - 2 so the first
8:53
thing is we graph y = -3x - 2 just a
8:57
line reg graphing
9:00
and because this is greater than it has
9:02
to be a dash line because that means
9:04
your solution cannot be on a line
9:06
because it's greater now next you
9:09
replace both Y and X by zero to see if
9:12
the statement holds true or false now
9:15
you have two region because this is your
9:17
border line and this is your boundary
9:19
whatever right you have two
9:20
regions this region and this region we
9:22
don't know which one is the solution
9:24
since the line is not going to 0 0 you
9:27
can replace both X and Y by 0 right you
9:29
could have used any other point on this
9:32
region or this region I prefer to use
9:34
because it makes it a lot easier to work
9:37
with so I put it in and I double check
9:39
this 0 is greater than2 since 0 0 is
9:42
here and this is true therefore this is
9:44
my solution does that make sense all
9:47
right so we're going to do a couple more
9:49
problems like this and then we can call
9:51
it a day and I'll give you a break all
9:54
right
