Question

ax + b > 0 is _____________________

(a) double inequality

(b) quadratic inequality

(c) numerical inequality

(d) linear inequality

I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My question is from Inequalities topic in section Linear Inequalities of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) linear inequality

For explanation: Since it has highest power of x ‘1’ and has inequality sign so, it is called linear inequality.

It is not numerical inequality as it does not have numbers on both sides of inequality.

It does not have two inequality signs so it is not double inequality.
