    Conditions
In summary, the conversation discusses four different cases in which certain conditions must be met for the inequalities A and B to hold true. In the first case, m must be greater than t and mt must be less than 1, leading to the demand for the inequality A. In the second case, m must be less than t and mt must be less than 1, resulting in the need for both inequalities A and B to be satisfied. This is because in this case, the left side of both inequalities is always positive, making it necessary for both to hold true.

A:
1-mt<w^2(m+t)

B:
-(1+mt)<(w^2 )t(m-t)


i have 4 cases
for each case they said that needs to be a condition for which this case would be true
1: m>t and mt<1
so they say that i have to demand
w^2>(1-mt)/(m+t) which is inequality A

2: m<t and mt<1
they say that i have to demand
inequalitys A and B

why ??

why ??
If m< t, m- t is negative, if m> t, m- t is positive, if mt< 1, 1-mt is positive and w^2 is always positive.
 
  • #3
so why in case two they demand both ??
it seems like the left side is true always
it cannot be negative?
 
  • #4
why in the 1st case we only pick only one innequality
??
 
  • #5
even if i substitute what you say regarding the positive and negative
i get
positive>positive

so??

wwoowww thanks i understood that stuff

FAQ: Conditions for which inequalitys is true

What are the conditions for which inequalities are true?

The conditions for which inequalities are true depend on the specific inequality being considered. In general, inequalities are true when the value on one side of the inequality symbol is greater than (or less than) the value on the other side. These conditions can also involve variables or expressions, and may require additional constraints or assumptions.

How do I know if an inequality is true?

To determine if an inequality is true, you can use mathematical techniques such as substitution or graphing to compare the values on each side of the inequality. If the value on the left side is greater than (or less than) the value on the right side, then the inequality is true. Additionally, you can check the conditions for which the inequality is true by considering different values for the variables or expressions involved.

Are there any common mistakes when solving inequalities?

Yes, there are a few common mistakes that people make when solving inequalities. One of the most common mistakes is forgetting to flip the direction of the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number. Another mistake is incorrectly combining terms or distributing incorrectly when simplifying expressions. It is important to carefully follow the rules of algebra when solving inequalities to avoid these errors.

How do I solve an inequality with more than one variable?

When solving an inequality with more than one variable, you may need to use substitution or graphing techniques to find the values that satisfy the inequality. This typically involves finding the values of one variable in terms of the other variable, and then using this information to determine the conditions for which the inequality is true. It may also be helpful to graph the inequality to visualize the solution set.

Why are inequalities important in science?

Inequalities are important in science because they allow us to describe relationships between variables or quantities that are not equal. This is particularly useful when studying systems or processes that involve change or variation. Inequalities are also used in mathematical modeling to represent real-world situations and make predictions. Additionally, many scientific principles and laws can be expressed as inequalities, making them essential tools for understanding and analyzing natural phenomena.
