|4 - v| < 5 means 4 - v < 5 or 4 - v > -5
can you solve these 2 inequalities?
maybe.. can you walk me through?
4 - v < 5 subtract 4 from both sides -v < 5-4 -v < 1 the next is the tricky part remember that when you divide the variable by a negative in an ineuqality the sign is flipped so -v / -1 > 1/-1 v > -1 is the solution
so try and solve the other inequality in a similar way
4-v>-5 Subtract 4 from both sides -v> 4- -5 -v>-9 -v/-9 not sure about this part
you need the value of v so divide both sides by -1 and flip the inequality sign
-v/-9< -9/-1 like this?
no you are dividing the -v by -9 you have to divide both sides of the equals by the same value in order to reatin the inequality its -v / -1 > -9/-1
oh sorry i was confused. I thought you told me to flip the sign
oh I didn't flip the sign it is -v / -1 < -9/-1 now do the divisions and we get v < 9
follow?
yes thanks so much
yw
so the solution set is {x | -1 < x < 9}
and the graph consists of 2 open circles on the points -1 and 9 and shaded area between these points
gotta go
Alright thank you again bye :)
bye
