5| x + 2 | > - 10

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i think i did that. O

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

:O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one has a -10 tho :0

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Oh, okay!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

x + 2 > -2 x + 2 > + 2

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

x + 2 > -2 x > -4 x + 2 > + 2 x > 0

myininaya (myininaya):

master khan you are forgetting to flip one of the inequalities

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

umm, where? :O

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Correct me!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Plz.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

y u changed the sign on the right side?

myininaya (myininaya):

think if we have |x|>3 then we have x>3 or x<-3 ~~~~~~~* *~~~~~ ---------|------|------- -3 3 everything less than -3 is a solution since |everything less than -3|>3 and everything more than 3 is a solution since |everything more than 3|>3

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so if the MOD is on the "X". so it means that X can be -ve or +ve.. Am I right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OK, now i got that... thats A TON! :D

myininaya (myininaya):

what happens if we have a negative on the other side if we |x|>-3 x>-3, x<3 ()~~~~~~~() -------|---------|--------- -3 3 |2|=2<-3 but -4 and 4 is a solution since |-4|>3 and |4|>3 so but it is the other way around when you have a negative on the other side so maybe if we have |x|>-3 then we have x>3 or x<-3

myininaya (myininaya):

|x+2|>-2 so we have x+2<-2 and x+2>2 x<-4 and x>0 ~~~() ()~~~~ ----|-----|------ -4 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

somebody please awnser is correctly?

myininaya (myininaya):

we can check our answer by randomly choosing numbers in the solution set to check what about -5? -5 is suppose to be in the solution set 5|-5+2|=5|-3|=5(3)=15>-10 how about 5? 5 is suppose to be in the solution set 5|5+2|=5|7|=35>-10 so we have the correct solution sets now (-inf,-4)U(0,inf)

myininaya (myininaya):

lol

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

:O

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Messed Up!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Fully. :/

myininaya (myininaya):

solution is (-inf,inf) all real numbers just graph both y= 5|x+2| and y=-10 you will see that y=5|x+2| is always above y=-10
