INEQUALITIES
Rules for inequalities:
1. Exactly one of the following is true: a < b, a = b, b < a
2. If a < b and b < c, then a < c
3. If a < b, then a + c < b + c
4. If a < b and c > 0, then ac < bc
5. If a < b and c < d, then a + c < b + d
6. If a < b and c < 0, then ac > bc
$ $
7. If 0 < a < b, then ) > *
For real numbers a, b, c and d:
1. If a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c
2. If a ≤ b, then a + c ≤ b + c
3. If a ≤ b and c ≤ d, then a + c ≤ b + d
4. If a ≤ b and c ≥ 0, then ac ≤ bc
5. If a ≤ b and c ≤ 0, then ac ≥ bc
$ $
6. If 0 < a ≤ b, then ) ≥ *
ABSOLUTE VALUE
𝑎 𝑖𝑓 𝑎 ≥ 0
|a| = 0
−𝑎 𝑖𝑓 𝑎 < 0
Which means that |a| is defined to be a when a ≥ 0 and is defined to be -a when a < 0.
,Properties of absolute values:
For all a, b 𝜖 R and n 𝜖 Z:
1. √𝑎# = |a|
2. |ab| = |a||b|
) |)|
3. | | = when b ≠ 0
* |*|
4. |an| = |a|n
5. If a > 0 then |x| = a if x = a or x = -a
6. |x| < a if -a < x < a
7. |x| > a if x > a or x < -a
8. |x| ≤ a if -a ≤ x ≤ a
9. |x| ≥ a if x ≥ a or x ≤ -a
10. |a + b| ≤ |a| + |b| this is the triangle identity
Proofs for triangle identity:
i) We have:
-|a| ≤ a ≤ |a|
-|b| ≤ b ≤ |b|
Hence, adding these two identities we get
-|a| + -|b| ≤ a + b ≤ |a| + |b|
⟺ - (|a| + |b|) ≤ a + b ≤ |a| + |b|
⟺ |a + b| ≤ |a| + |b|
ii) Since:
|a + b|2 = (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
And
(|a| + |b|)2 = |a|2 + 2|a||b| + |b|2 = a2 + 2|ab| + b2
It follows that
(|a| + |b|)2 - |a + b|2 = 2|ab| - 2ab = 2(|ab| - ab)
And hence since |ab| ≥ ab we have that
(|a| + |b| - |a + b|)(|a| + |b| + |a + b|) = (|a| + |b|)2 - |a + b|2 ≥ 0
Therefore since (|a| + |b| + |a + b|) > 0; unless a = b = 0 (in which case the
identity is trivially true), it follows that
|a| + |b| - |a + b| ≥ 0
And hence that
|a + b| ≤ |a| + |b|
ANGLES
Use radians [rad] as unit for angles.
Relationship between radians and degrees is given by equation 180° = 𝜋rad.
,
It follows that an angle 𝜃 in degrees corresponds to 𝜃 rad in radians while an angle 𝜙 in
$-.
$-.°
radians corresponds to 𝜙 , 0)1 in degrees.
Note: when write an angle in radians we usually leave out the unit.

EVEN AND ODD IDENTITES

PERIODIC IDENTITES
Since 𝜋 represents one full rotation around a circle we have:
Sin (𝜃 + 2𝜋) = sin(𝜃)
Cos(𝜃 + 2𝜋) = cos(𝜃)
