  • Inequalities with one or multiple variables
  • Absolute value inequalities
  • Set notation
  • Compound inequalities
  • Systems of inequalities
  • Translation of math sentences

Watching the video lessons in each chapter, you'll have so much fun learning about inequalities that you'll hardly notice you're even studying! Follow along with the handy video transcripts so you can learn at your own pace, and then check out our quizzes to test your inequality smarts.

ASVAB Math: Inequalities Chapter Objectives

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is taken by candidates who want to enlist in the United States Armed Services. The test is offered to, among other groups, high school students who may be enrolled in ROTC programs. You will have 24 minutes to finish the 25 multiple-choice questions in this section of the ASVAB pencil-and-paper version of the test, or 20 minutes to answer 16 computer-based questions. Objectives for this chapter include:

  • Defining different types of inequalities
  • Graphing inequalities with singular or multiple variables
  • Understanding set notation, compound inequalities, and systems of inequalities
  • Solving and graphing absolute value inequalities
  • Converting word problems to inequalities

The Math Knowledge subtest of the ASVAB equates to 11% of the overall test. Some of those questions will test your know-how of the inequalities problem-solving process, so go over our awesome video lessons as many times as you want until you think you're prepared!
