Question

Help Please!!!!

Identify the solution set of the inequality, using the given replacement set.

x < –4; {–10, –4.3, –4, –3.9, 2, 6.5}

A. {–10, –4.3, –4}
B. {–4, –3.9, 2}
C.{–10, –4.3}
D. {–3.9, 2}

Answer 1

think of the number line. All numbers to the left of -4 would be in the solution set. -10, -4.3

Answer 2

Answer 8

So, you have an inequality: \(x < -4\)

You also have a replacement set: \(\{–10, –4.3, –4, –3.9, 2, 6.5\}\)

The solution set is just all of the numbers in the replacement set that make the inequality true. -10 < -4, that one works. -4.3 < -4, that one works. -4 < -4, nope, that doesn't work. -3.9, 2, 6.5 all fail as well. So the solution set is simply \(\{-10, -4.3\}\)

You must be referring to the girls who haven't met me yet :-)

Answer 10

Brings to mind one of my favorite quotes, by the late conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein: "The trouble with you and me, Ned, is that we want everyone in the world to personally love us, and of course that's impossible; you just don't meet everyone in the world."

Answer 11

very true at that!
