Nevermind, I understand now. It seems so strange that you can multiply all three sides of an equality by the same number. I don't know what this property is called thought.Callumnc1 said:
For the continued inequality ##0 < |x - a| < \delta##, it's helpful to draw a sketch or two of the number line with a in an arbitrary position. x will then have to be somewhere inside a band of width ##2\delta## around a, but excluding a itself.Callumnc1 said:
The statement you started with is not an equation -- it's an inequality. There is a property of equations that you can multiply both sides of an equation by any nonzero number to get a new, equivalent equation. This idea can be extended to a continued equation.Callumnc1 said:
Amen! Mathematics is very cumulative. Anything that you were taught earlier will be used over and over in what follows. It can be very beneficial to review earlier material until it becomes natural to you.Mark44 said:
Inequality refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges among individuals or groups in a society.
The main causes of inequality are often rooted in systemic issues such as discrimination, unequal access to education and healthcare, and economic policies that favor the wealthy.
Inequality can have negative impacts on society, including increased crime rates, political instability, and decreased social mobility.
Some solutions to address inequality include implementing policies that promote equal access to education and healthcare, increasing the minimum wage, and implementing progressive taxation.
The government plays a crucial role in addressing inequality by implementing policies and programs that promote equal opportunities and redistribute wealth to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.
