What's the Multiplication Property of Inequality?

What is the Multiplication Property of Inequality?

Summary

  1. 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
  2. To avoid dividing by zero, 'c' cannot equal zero
  3. 'c > 0' means 'c' is a positive number
  4. We multiply by 'c' as a way of showing how the Multiplication Property of Inequality works
  5. 'c < 0' means 'c' is a negative number

Notes

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