solve the inequality state the solution set in interval
notation and sketch its graph
– t > 0
Clear of fractions by multiplying every term by the LCD of 6:
6 – 6t > 6(0)
1 - 2t > 0
Subtract 1 fro both sides:
1 - 2t > 0
-1 -1
----------------
-2t > -1
Divide both sides by -2, remembering to switch the order of
the inequality symbol because we are dividing by a negative
number:
<
t <
The number line graph is:
<===================o------------
-2 -1 0 1 2
The interval notation is an abbreviation for the graph:
