Compound Inequalities

AND Compound Inequalities

Compound inequalities that contain the word and are true only if both inequalities are true. The graph of a compound inequality containing and is the intersection of the graphs of the two inequalities that make up the compound inequality. To find the intersection, determine where the two graphs overlap.

OR Compound Inequalities

Compound inequalities that contain the word or are true if one or more of the inequalities is true. The graph is the union of the graphs of the two inequalities that make up the compound inequality.
