Question

When the symbol < or > is used, what is this called? O A. An expression OB. A term O C. An equation O D. An inequality

Answer 1

When we have expressions that are connected by an equal sign "=", we have equations:

`\begin{gathered} y=2x+1 \\ 13x^2=169 \end{gathered}`

But when the equal sign is replaced by one of the symbols < or > (that is, lesser than or greater than), we have an inequality, because the value of the variable can't be determined exactly:

`\begin{gathered} 2y>5 \\ x^2-4<0 \end{gathered}`

So the correct option is D.
