I need immediate help!! please! Solve for x under assumption that x>0. x-45/x<-4. (answer in interval notation)
@satellite73 can you help me?
\[x-\frac{45}{x} <-4\] Is this right?
yeah that's what it is
Now we know x>0 So we can multiply the whole equation by x, \[x^2-45x<-4x\] Do you get this step?
yeah I get that, the part where I get stuck is just to know which are the values
Could you simplify this, bring all the terms to one side?
I know up to (x+9)(x-5)<0
yes I can it would be x^2+4x-45<0
Good, now find the range :)
do you know the answer? is it (0,5)?
From this you would get a range of (-9, 5) Is that right?
see I go up to -9<x<5
yeah, but since it says under assumption that x>0, I get confused
yeah, but we know already that x is positive, so it should be 0<x<5 Do you get this?
that means that we are given x>0, we start from that
Open Study is having problem right now, We can safely assume that x>0 and then we can proceed with the problem.
Yeah, this thing got slow and what not. But okay, that's what I thought I just wasn't sure. Thank you ash (:
