Exercise Topic Map

Exercise 5.1Solve linear inequalities in one variable (ax+b<c, ax+b≥c); algebraic manipulation; sign reversal; solution sets; number line representation; interval notation; domain constraints (natural numbers, integers, real numbers); word problems on averages, geometry, and constraints

MiscellaneousModulus inequalities |x−a|<b and |x−a|>b; compound inequalities; real-life word problems; application-based questions; range-based solutions; higher-order reasoning for JEE/competitive exams

Key Formulae

\(\text{Multiply/divide by negative} \Rightarrow \text{flip sign}\)

\(|x| < a \iff -a < x < a\)

\(|x| > a \iff x < -a \text{ or } x > a\)

\(\text{Test }(0,0)\text{ in }ax+by \leq c\text{ to choose side}\)

NCERT Solving Method

Step 1 — Isolate x; flip inequality whenever multiplying/dividing by negative. Step 2 — Express solution as interval; open circle for </>, closed for ≤/≥. Step 3 — Two-variable: draw boundary line (convert to equality); test origin to choose half-plane. Step 4 — Systems: shade all inequalities; feasible region = where ALL shadings overlap.
