Inequalities that use \(\textless\) or \(\textgreater\) symbols are plotted with a dashed line to show that the line is not included in the region. Inequalities that use ≤ or ≥ symbols are plotted ...

Abstract, pure math – solving disembodied equations filled with x's and y's – can often seem boring. Creative math teachers commonly try to come up with concrete, real-world examples to motivate ...
