Mastering Inequalities with Desmos

The video tutorial covers how to use Desmos for solving SAT Math inequalities, including graphing individual inequalities and systems of inequalities. The instructor demonstrates plotting inequalities, setting graph windows, and using guess-and-check methods to find solutions. The tutorial also emphasizes the importance of identifying the correct shaded regions in systems of inequalities. The lesson concludes with a final example and encourages viewers to practice using Desmos for similar problems.

What is the primary function of Desmos in SAT Math inequalities?

• To calculate exact numerical answers

• To provide theoretical explanations

• To graph inequalities and check solutions visually

• To solve algebraic equations

Which of the following is not a feature of Desmos used in the tutorial?

• Graphing inequalities

• Setting a specific window for viewing the graph

• Solving algebraic expressions

• Creating a table of points

How can you adjust the viewing window in Desmos for better visualization?

• Using the zoom function

• Adjusting the axis scales manually

• Selecting different graph types

• None of the above

What does a dashed line on a graph in Desmos indicate?

• The graph is incorrectly plotted

• The points on the line are included in the solution

• The points on the line are not included in the solution

• The inequality is only valid on the line

What does the shaded area on a Desmos graph typically represent?

• Error in plotting

• The solution set of an inequality

• Optional areas for consideration

• Areas outside the solution set

In a system of inequalities, how is the solution set visually represented in Desmos?

• By non-shaded regions

• By overlapping shaded regions

• By distinct non-overlapping shaded regions

• By a single shaded region

When dealing with systems of inequalities, what must you identify in Desmos?

• The least shaded region

• The most shaded region

• The overlapping shaded regions

• Non-shaded regions

What method is used to verify if a point satisfies the inequality in Desmos?

• Using a calculator

• Graphical guess and check method

• Elimination method

• Substitution method

What is the correct way to check if a point is in the solution set of a system of inequalities?

• Checking if the point is on any line

• Checking if the point is in the non-shaded region

• Checking if the point is in the overlapping shaded region

• Checking if the point is outside the graph boundary
