OpenStudy (zarkon):
b is not 5

hmm

Well, the minimum value of x^2 would be 0, which is fine since -3 <=x<=5. And the highest absolute value for -3<=x<=5 is 5, so then you would consider the maximum value of x^2 to be 25. So a = 0, b = 25.

I agree with @Concentrationalizing that little trick you had there was subtle but clever ^^
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yes

what about this
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align}
&\text{if}\quad 4\leq x^2\leq 25 ,\quad x\in \mathbb{R} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\
&\text{find a and b such that } \hspace{.33em}\\~\\
&a\leq x \leq b
\end{align}}\)
