0.6^x-1/9>-5/18 But the issue is how do I get s= [-4;+infinite) s= [-1/4;+infinite) 0r s= [1/4;+infinite) but i keep gettign 26/100 or rather 0.26

surjithayer:

\[\frac{ 0.6^x -1 }{ 9} > -\frac{ 5 }{ 18 }\] multiply by 9 \[0.6^x -1> -\frac{ 5 }{ 18 }\times 9\] \[0.6^x-1>-\frac{5}{2}\] \[0.6^x > -\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }+1\] \[0.6^x>-\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }>-1.5 \] \[x log(0.6)>log(-1.5)\] have i written the correct statement?

surjithayer:

domain of log is >=0

AlexisR:

well the original is 0.6^X -1/9 > -5/18 but what u did is so close to it that i might just be the right solution

AlexisR:

btw it 0.6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

surjithayer:

let x=0.66666... 10x=6.66666... subtract 9x=6 x=6/9=2/3 \[\frac{( \frac{ 2 }{ 3 })^x-1 }{ 9}>-\frac{ 5 }{ 18 }\] \[(\frac{ 2 }{ 3 })^x-1=-\frac{ 5 }{ 18 }\times 9\] \[(\frac{ 2 }{ 3 })^x>-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }+1\] \[(\frac{ 2 }{ 3 })^x>-\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\] \[(\frac{ 3 }{ 2 })^{-x}>-\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\] for all values of x L.H.S. is positive which is >-3/2 solution is all real valuues of x.
