But sometimes the expressions are not equal. We might only know that something is bigger than or smaller than something else. This is where inequalities come into play. Things that are not equal, hence the word inequalities! In this video, we are going to look at the basics of inequalities, the different symbols, and how they are represented on number lines. Inequalities are really useful when looking at profits and losses, for example, or for loans, or for working out anything that may have a range of values, like when to photograph a diver jumping off a diving board. These are the symbols for inequalities: A is "less than" B. The small side is next to A and the big open mouth is next to B. So, A is "smaller than" B. A is "bigger than" B. A has the big side this time. A is "less than or equal to" B. The line underneath means “or equal to”. A is "more than or equal to" B. If we had this inequality: A is "bigger than or equal to" 4, means that A can be 4, 5, 6, and any number bigger. On a number line, it would look like this. See how it is represented with a full circle, whereas "B is less than 2" is a hollow circle on a number line. An easy way to remember is to think that the full circle also includes “or equal to”, hence it is complete. It includes everything. The hollow circle is just "more than" or "less than". It’s missing the “or equal to” and so it is hollow. There’s a closed circle here, so the value is going to be "greater than or equal to" -2. And a hollow circle here. So, it’s going to be "less than 4". We can combine these things into a double inequality, which we would write like this. Notice how we put X in the middle, so it appears just once. If we read this double inequality out loud, it says “-2 is less than or equal to x which is less than 4”.

Equations are used everywhere: in computers, business, internet searches, medicine to name a few examples. Which is why we study them a lot in Maths. We have names to describe the different parts: coefficients, variables, constants and exponents. A variable is a symbol for a number we don’t know y
Triangles are the building blocks of all other straight-edged shapes. They were used for hundreds of years to create accurate maps and GPS today still works using trigonometry. Even the pixels on phones and screens use trigonometry.We need to know these things so that we can work out exact length
