|n|>n Solve inequality

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

is tht it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N is any negative answer. The reason is because a positive is ALWAYS greater than a negative number, and an absolute always leads to a positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, if you took, say... -15 as n, you'd have: |-15| > -15 15 > -15 And so on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm no idea , I coppy exactly from tex book

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@California: Your answer's ready for you. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|n|<n the key is : {n|-9n->0 |n|<n I no idea this answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's this, you said? {n|-9n->0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you have an inequation, you can use the method of critical points to determine solution sets. Here, \[|n|>n\]so we start by looking for partition points via,\[|n|=n \iff \sqrt{n^2}=n\]where I've used one of the definitions for absolute value here. Hence,\[\sqrt{n^2}=n \rightarrow n=\pm n\]which is only true for n=0. So n=0 partitions the number line. We pick a point in each interval and test in the original inequality. If it tests true for that point, all n in that interval will be part of the solution set. 1) Pick n=1. Then\[|1|>1\] --> not true. So n > 0 is not part of the solution. 2) Pick n =-1. Then \[|-1|>-1\] --> true. So n < 0 is part of the solution. n = 0 is not part of the solution, which you can check in the inequality. Hence the solution set is all real n such that n < 0.

Loki agrees with me. Woo.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hehe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uber {n|-9n->0 is not answer I said this answer for another similar problem , just a sample

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{n|-9n->0 is answer for |n| <n not |n|>n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no solution for |n|<n.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No offense prashant, but it may be time to throw the book at the publisher. Like literally.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Erm... I mean california.mathematics Not prashant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|n|>n; case(1) when n>0 then |n|=n as n is positive; -> |n|>n -> n>n -> no number is greater than itself; case (2) when n<=0 then |n| = -n as n is negative; -> |n|>n -> -n>n -> 2n<0 -> n<0 means n is from -infinite to 0 iliminating 0 as our case is n<=0 so this answer also not violate our case(n<=0); hence answer is n<0 where n is real no. note:-> to solve inequality with modulus, take cases and solve them within each case; and be sure that your outcome doesn't violate your case assumed....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me send your guy text book for answer key number 28) and 29)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It says |n| > OR EQUAL to n! The only answer would be 0. By the way, the answers you're showing don't match up to the section you posted. :P Double check your page numbers/chapters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because my key board no equal side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u sai the key 29) is was wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya, I'm sorry. The key is wrong. It doesn't make sense. The number line they drew is correct. The actual numbers they put is not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what answer 28)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confose I need repost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No prob. Gimme medal.
