MEDAL!! Which values are solutions to the ineqquality below?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

what is the inequality? @clamin

OpenStudy (clamin):

\[\sqrt{x}> 3\]

OpenStudy (clamin):

8, -16,9,10,22,45

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

remember, if you square a value inside of a square root, it will eliminate the root. They outdo each other

OpenStudy (welshfella):

square both sides

OpenStudy (clamin):

9

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

OpenStudy (clamin):

but i have to choos more than 1 answer

OpenStudy (welshfella):

ok now check the options and see which fit

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so if you square both sides, then you get 9, like you've said... lol @welshfella gj

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

OH wait it's an inequality! So any number less than 9 would also fit the answer :O

OpenStudy (clamin):

9 and idk what else is the answer

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

I mean greater than 9 lol whoops

OpenStudy (welshfella):

thats right

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

therefore, since it's greater than, the answer would NOT be 9. because the value has to be greater than, not greater than or equal to

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (clamin):

so the answer is greater than 9??

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so basically, any number greater than 9 \[x >9\]
