AND (Intersection)

Algebra 1 · Inequalities

Definition

AND (intersection) is a compound inequality true only where both inequalities are satisfied at once.

Examples

  • x > 1 AND x < 5 gives 1 < x < 5.
  • x >= -2 AND x <= 3 gives -2 <= x <= 3.

Key rule

The solution is the overlap where both parts are true.

Memory hook

AND = the overlap; only the shared middle survives.
