HELP, EASY QUESTION FOR MEDAL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats up?

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

@mathmale

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Can you help me? i dont understand it

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

thanks

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

first step: we have to draw this line: \[y = \frac{x}{2} - 4\] in order to do that, we can note that such line passes at point \((0,-4)\), and at point \((8,0)\) For example, if I replace x=0, I get: \(y= (0/2)-4=-4\), namely the point \((0,-4)\). SImilarly if I replace \(y=0\), I get \(x=8\)

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so here is such line: |dw:1455137099930:dw|

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

alright

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

aw the line \(y=-6\): |dw:1455137236920:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, my browser doesn't work well. I meant now I draw the line \(y=-6\)

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Its fine

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Sorry, there is a more simple method. Here it is. I add \(4\) to both sides so I get: \[ - 6 + 4 > \frac{x}{2} - 4 + 4\] and therefore: \[ - 2 > \frac{x}{2}\]

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

okay

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

is it an open circle?

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

now how do i graph that on a number line

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, no, we can solve such inequality, without thpeometry of cartesian coordinates. next I multiply both sides by \(2\), so I get: \[\left( { - 2} \right) \cdot 2 > \frac{x}{2} \cdot 2\] please simplify

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. I meant without the support of the geometry of the cartesian coordinates

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

x less than or equal to -4

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!!

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

okay now how do i graph?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, it is: \(x<-4\)

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

I meant less than*****

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

sorry i didnt mean the equal to part lol

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is simple: |dw:1455137878549:dw| the solution set, is the set of all points at the left of \(-4\). the point \(-4\) doesn't belong to such solution set

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

so the answer is B

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

??

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

are you sure?

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Im asking if that answer is correct

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Its the only one that looks like it

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think option B is wrong

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

option A?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you have to search for the option which is equal to my drawing

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

Option B is the exact same

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

option B contains the points at the right of \(-4\)

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

idk then

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

i have 2 min to answer

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what about option D ?

OpenStudy (imsleeziboii):

that looks right
