hen people plan a house, they often have many requirements in mind that can be
1. First, let’s investigate what happens when we combine requirements A & B with “and”:
a. Graph the numbers that meet requirement A:
4 6 8 10 12 14
b. Graph the numbers that meet requirement B:
4 6 8 10 12 14
c. Graph only the numbers that meet both A and B:
4 6 8 10 12 14
d. Write the solution as an inequality:
2. Now let’s investigate what happens when we combine requirements A & B with “or”:
a. Graph the numbers that meet requirement A:
4 6 8 10 12 14
b. Graph the numbers that meet requirement B:
4 6 8 10 12 14
c. Graph all the numbers that meet either A or B:
4 6 8 10 12 14
d. Write the solution as an inequality:
3. Now investigate what happens when we combine requirements A & C with “and”:
a. Graph the numbers that meet requirement A:
4 6 8 10 12 14
b. Graph the numbers that meet requirement C:
4 6 8 10 12 14
c. Graph only the numbers that meet both A and C:
4 6 8 10 12 14
d. Write the solution as an inequality:
9. Now write some notes to help you remember what you have learned about combining
solution sets using the words and & or.
Use the table of inequality requirements below to find each union or intersection. Sketch each
individual requirement first, and then sketch the compound inequality on the third number line.
Requirement A: 1. Requirements A and C. A:
x 3 -5 -3 -1 1 3 5
Requirement B: C:
x2 -5 -3 -1 1 3 5
Requirement C: A C:
x0 -5 -3 -1 1 3 5
Requirement D: Solution:
x 1
Requirement E: 2. Requirements A or C. A:
x4 -5 -3 -1 1 3 5
Requirement F: C:
x2 -5 -3 -1 1 3 5
Requirement G:
A C:
