solve the inequality
thats right thanks
i forgot lol
Np. Good luck with your hw
the expression on the left is negative (less than zero) if the top is minus and the bottom plus or vice versa you need x+2 ≤ 0 and x-5>0 (top negative, bottom plus) this gives x ≤ -2 and x>5 which is not possible or x+2≥0 and x-5<0 which gives x ≥ -2 and x < 5 which is possible -2 ≤ x < 5
Phi is correct. My apologies for rushing the answer.
interval notation would look like [-2,0) U [0,5)
one way to do these problems is plot the "zeros" x+2=0 when x= -2 x-5 = 0 when x = 5 then label the region below -2 (both negative ---> positive ---> bigger than 0) -2 to 5 , top +, bottom - --> negative --> < 0 this is the region you want 5 to infinity --> top +, bottom + --> positive --> bigger than 0
I would just write [-2, 5)
i understand the problem and the way you explained it thanks for your time @phi and @Plissken
