Find The Solution To The Inequality X^2 <64

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

can you find the square root of both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the Square Root Of 64 Is 8

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

how about the square root of x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No That How They Wrote The Question

OpenStudy (rational):

x^2 < 64 x^2 - 64 < 0

OpenStudy (rational):

factor it

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

solving for inequality is almost the same as when you are solving for equation the only part that is different is when your x value is turned from a negative to a positive, your sign flips. less than becomes greater than and viceversa, and your less than or equal to turns into a greater than or equal to

OpenStudy (rational):

or you may just see it, x has to be between (-? , ?)

OpenStudy (rational):

x^2 is always a distance

OpenStudy (rational):

for inequality you wil get range of values for x (-x, x)

OpenStudy (rational):

you assumed it wrong

OpenStudy (rational):

we can solve inequalities by factoring and checking the intervals

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

but you are right that square root gives a -/+ value from x
