What's the Multiplication Property of Inequality?
What is the Multiplication Property of Inequality?
Summary
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
- To avoid dividing by zero, 'c' cannot equal zero
- 'c > 0' means 'c' is a positive number
- We multiply by 'c' as a way of showing how the Multiplication Property of Inequality works
- 'c < 0' means 'c' is a negative number

Notes
-
-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
- 'c' must not be zero in order to avoid any divisions by zero!
-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
- 'c is GREATER THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c' is a positive number
-
- 'c' is just a variable representing a number here
-
- 'a' and 'b' are just variables representing numbers here
-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
- 'c is LESS THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c' is a negative number
-
- What is done to one side of the inequality must be done to the other side!

-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
- 'c is LESS THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c' is a negative number
-
- 'c' is just a variable representing a number here
- Multiplying by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality symbol
