If 2x – 3 < 5x – 3 ≤ 12; x ∈Ν, then

Directrix (directrix):

This --> x ∈Ν means that the answer(s) have to be natural numbers also known as counting numbers. I'll throw up the number family tree before we start the problem.

Directrix (directrix):

2x – 3 < 5x – 3 ≤ 12 Add 3 to each component +3 +3 +3 ------------------------------- 2x < 5x ≤ 15

Directrix (directrix):

0 < x ≤ 3 Which positive integers are greater than 0 AND less than OR equal to 3? @adamarbour

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,2,3

Directrix (directrix):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with me with this assignment becuase i have to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Directrix (directrix):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Directrix (directrix):

I'll help out with the first problem or two in this thread.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok what do mods do

Directrix (directrix):

Ban people from this site for cheating and stuff like that. Check out the Code of Conduct http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

11. If (x - a)(x - b) < 0, then A. x < a B. x < b C. x < a and x < b D. x < a or x < b E. x = a and x = b 12. If a < 0 and b < 0, then A. (a + b)^2>0 B. (a + b)^2>=0 C. (a + b)^2<0 D. (a - b)^2<0 E. (a + b)^3>0

Directrix (directrix):

11) If (x - a)(x - b) < 0 then, one factor is positive and the other is negative. Two cases emerge. (1) (x - a) >0 AND (x - b) < 0 OR (2) (x - a) <0 AND (x - b) > 0

Directrix (directrix):

12) If a < 0 and b < 0. If both a and b are negative, then their sum is negative. The square of a negative number is positive. Look for that option.
