O Level Mathematics 4024 · Algebra and graphs. 1 Represent and interpret inequalities, including on a number line. 2 Construct, solve and interpret linear inequalities. 3 Represent and interpret linear inequalities in two variables graphically. 4 List inequalities that define a given region. When representing and interpreting inequalities on a number line: open circles should be used to represent strict inequalities (<, >) closed circles should be used to represent inclusive inequalities (⩽, ⩾) e.g. – 3 ⩽ x < 1 – 3 – 2 – 1 0 1 x Examples include: 3x < 2x + 4 –3 ⩽ 3x – 2 < 7 . The following conventions should be used: broken lines should be used to represent strict inequalities (<, >) solid lines should be used to represent inclusive in
