false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it begins from number 5 we easily can check it out \[\LARGE a+4<0\] \[\LARGE 5+4=9 \quad \quad \] so it's equal to nine not lower ... so it's false !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry ... \[\LARGE a+4<9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i thought, thank you for the help !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Glad to help... You're welcome

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

No, that's true

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

a<5

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

a=/=5, which is why there is an open circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true a<5

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

@Kreshnik ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@inkyvoyd you have a+4<9 not a<9 there's no question about "a" only to prove if a+4<9 so the greatest value of a is 5 j and we have 4+5=9 what's confusing you?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

The solution for a+4<9 can be shown to be equivalent to a<5. The picture for the solution on a number line is an open circle and the line on the left highlighted. This fits the exact problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@karakuhnn your question is not fully complete !... I THINK that line in red represents value of "a" if it represents the value of a+5 then it's true !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@inkyvoyd do you see anywhere if it asks if a<9 ???

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

"the solution to the equation is shown on the line below"

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

solution of equation = a<5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well the answer is true. i got it right on my test.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

solution of the equation graphed is shown on the graph below.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

See, you gave kreshnik a medal for a false ansdwer xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't understand.... "dumb test !"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@inkyvoyd take it back I don't need medals don't worry ! .... and my answer was RIGHT because I thought different ! why you're so jealous

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

no, you haven't justified your answer very well.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

The solution of the equation is explictedly assumed to be the highlighted line segment.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

the solution to a+4<9 is a<5, and when drawn on a number line, is represented standardly in almost all nations as an open circle on the 5 (to represent the exclusion of the number 5) and all numbers less than 5 highlighted. This is represented by highlighting all of the left side of the number line.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

The red line is explicitly mentioned as the solution to the equation, not the value of a. And, the value of a is the solution to the equation. By solving the equation, we merely write it in a simpler form.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

@Kreshnik , please read the problem attached in the screenshot a second time, this time more closely. I believe that you will see what I'm trying to say.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@inkyvoyd don't worry , I have it on tab ... but even if that is a+4<9 a<9-4 a<5 right? then why it doesn't start from number 4 but from number 5?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Because that line is talking about a

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

4.1,4.3, even 4.99 are solutions.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

4.9999999999999999999999999 is also a solution

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

it starts at 5, but note that it is an "open" circle. This means that 5 is excluded.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I know that... don't treat me like a dumb ... and let me tell you something... when things are like this (I thought it was 5 included ) you have to post a photo larger....

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Well, that's not my problem ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not mine either... while they don't post questions right... I don't care ! I see a lot of posts like this: 2x2-4x+9=0 if you can't post it like: \[\Large 2x^2-4x+9=0\] at least post like this: 2x^2-4x+9=0 (I'm not blaming her for the quadratic equation...) but if she knew the task was like this, she should have posted a bigger photo !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@inkyvoyd what does that link has to do anything with this ?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Failure of the usage of parenthesis. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From what I can see on the number line, the red arrow starts before the 5. So the answer is "True"
