AZ:

hmm would you say that the statement is true? -2 < x - 7 < 2 if you add 7 on both sides, what do you get?

kamachavis:

It's true

AZ:

and there you have it

kamachavis:

Can you help me with one more?

AZ:

Sure

It took me a few times of reading that question to understand what they're asking We want to find all the x-values that make f(x) greater than g(x) So here's the graph https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ygsjv5cyj8

AZ:

Are those answer choices that they gave you? Or are they asking you to test each one?

AZ:

x/2 > 1 + 4/x When they say prove it algebraically, we could try solving for x but that's just going to be messy But I think it would be easier to just plug in random points to check which intervals are correct lol

kamachavis:

It's answer choices

AZ:

Let's solve this x/2 > 1 + 4/x can you write 1 + 4/x as one fraction? basically multiply 1 by x/x

kamachavis:

I 1?

AZ:

I'm not sure what `I 1` means What is 1 + 4/x can you add the two to make it into one fraction? 1 is the same thing as x/x now that they have the same denominator, you should be able to add them

kamachavis:

So its 5

AZ:

uh no? \( 1= \dfrac{x}{x}\) so \( 1 + \dfrac{4}{x} = \dfrac{x}{x} + \dfrac{4}{x} \) and you should know that when adding fractions, if the denominators are the same, then you can add the numerators

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AZ uh no? \( 1= \dfrac{x}{x}\) so \( 1 + \dfrac{4}{x} = \dfrac{x}{x} + \dfrac{4}{x} \) and you should know that when adding fractions, if the denominators are the same, then you can add the numerators \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) - just an idea bc. how you see this way is so confusable to @kamachavis so add the 1 to 4/x like a fraction written in this form of 1/1 \[\frac{ 1 }{ 1 } +\frac{ 4 }{ x } = ?\]
