Solving inequalities and graphing their solutions is fundamental in understanding the solutions' ranges and their implications. This process involves isolating the variable on one side of the inequality and then representing the solution set visually on a number line.
1. x - 4 > 3
Adding 4 to both sides gives:
x - 4 + 4 > 3 + 4
x > 7
Solution set: x ∈ (7, ∞). To graph this, draw a number line and shade everything greater than 7, with an open circle at 7.
2. x - 1 ≤ 3
Add 1 to both sides:
x - 1 + 1 ≤ 3 + 1
x ≤ 4
Solution set: x ∈ (−∞, 4], graph with a closed circle at 4, shading to the left.
3. x + 7 ≥ -5
Subtract 7 from both sides:
x + 7 - 7 ≥ -5 - 7
x ≥ -12
Solution set: x ∈ [−12, ∞), visualize with a closed circle at -12.
4. x + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides:
x + 4 - 4
x
Solution set: x ∈ (−∞, -12), visualized with an open circle at -12.
5. x - 1 > 9
Add 1 to both sides:
x - 1 + 1 > 9 + 1
x > 10
Solution: x ∈ (10, ∞), depicted with an open circle at 10.
6. x - 2 ≥ -x
Add x to both sides:
x - 2 + x ≥ -x + x
> 2x - 2 ≥ 0
Add 2:
2x ≥ 2
Divide both sides by 2:
x ≥ 1
Solution set: x ∈ [1, ∞), shown with a closed circle at 1.
7. x - 17 > 31
Add 17 to both sides:
x - 17 + 17 > 31 + 17
x > 48
Solution: x ∈ (48, ∞).
8. x + 16 ≤ x + 24
Split into two inequalities:
a) x + 16 ≤ x + 24
Simplify: 16 ≤ 24, which is always true, so this adds no restriction.
b) x + 24
Subtract 24 from both sides:
x
Overall, the solution is x
9. x - 21 ≥ x - 14 > -7
Break into two parts:
Part 1: x - 21 ≥ x - 14
Simplify: -21 ≥ -14, which is false, so no solutions here.
Part 2: x - 14 > -7
Add 14: x > 7
Since the first part is false, the overall compound inequality has no solutions.
10. x + 9 ≤ -x + 12
Split into:
a) x + 9 ≤ -x + 12
Add x to both sides:
2x + 9 ≤ 12
Subtract 9:
2x ≤ 3
Divide by 2:
x ≤ 1.5
b) -x + 12
Subtract 12: -x
Multiply both sides by -1 (and reverse inequality): x > 17
Combine: x ≤ 1.5 and x > 17, which cannot both be true simultaneously, so no solutions exist.
Verification of Specific Values
11. Is x = 3 a solution of 2x
Substitute x=3:
2(3) = 6
12. Is x = -1 a solution of -2x - 2
Substitute x= -1:
-2(-1) - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0; check if 0
13. Is x=1 a solution of -1 - x > 1 + 3x?
Substitute x=1:
-1 - 1 = -2; compare with 1 + 3(1)= 4? Is -2 > 4? No. So, x=1 is not a solution.
14. Is x=4 a solution of x
Insufficient information. If the inequality is incomplete, cannot assess.
15. Is x=4 a solution of 5
Substitute x=4:
5
Graphing these solutions and solutions verification validate the meaningfulness and correctness of the solutions and demonstrate how inequalities shape the solution sets visually and analytically.
