Page 2: Elevator Weight and Capacity Constraints

This page demonstrates how to apply inequalities to real-world situations using an elevator scenario with multiple constraints.

Example: An elevator car with maximum capacity of 15 people and 1,500 kg weight limit, considering different weights for adults and children.

Vocabulary: Variables are defined clearly: p = number of people, a = number of adults, c = number of children, W = weight of elevator.

Highlight: The problem introduces multiple constraints that must be satisfied simultaneously: a + c ≤ 15 and 70a + 35c + 4a + 4c ≤ 1500.

Page 3: Understanding Inequality Relationships

This page provides a comprehensive summary of how inequalities are used to represent various relationships and constraints.

Definition: Inequalities express relationships where one quantity is greater than or less than another using symbols <, ≤, >, or ≥.

Example: Complex real-world applications include:

  • Rectangle area constraints: A ≤ 100
  • Ticket sales requirements: d + e > 4,000
  • Working hours limitations: 5 < h ≤ 20

Highlight: The page emphasizes how inequalities can express both simple number relationships and complex real-world constraints.

Page 4: Practical Applications in Field Trip Planning

This page applies inequality concepts to a real-world scenario involving field trip cost comparisons.

Example: Two orchards with different pricing structures:

  • Orchard A: $9 per person with 3 chaperones required
  • Orchard B: $10 per person with 1 chaperone required

Highlight: Students learn to compare costs using inequalities for different class sizes.

Page 5: Solving and Testing Inequalities

This page focuses on solving inequalities and verifying solutions through testing.

Vocabulary: Solution verification involves testing values on both sides of the solution point.

Example: When solving 4x+3x + 3/5, students test values both less than and greater than x = 2 to verify the solution.

Highlight: The importance of checking multiple values to confirm inequality solutions is emphasized.

Page 1: Introduction to Inequality Symbols

This page introduces the basic concepts of inequalities and their symbols, focusing on how to interpret and use them correctly in mathematical expressions.

Definition: Inequality symbols represent relationships where values can be greater than, less than, or equal to other values.

Example: In the expression h > 50, h must be greater than 50, while in h ≤ 20, h must be less than or equal to 20.

Highlight: Students learn to test specific values 25,30,4025, 30, 40 to determine if they are solutions to given inequalities.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
