  1. Which expresses the given inequality in interval notation?

x < 4


Option A: x E(4,infinity)


Option B: x E [4, infinity)


Option C: x E(-infinity,4)


Option D: x E (-infinity , 4]

  1. Which is the solution set to the given inequality?

2x +6 < 8

Ax E(-infinity,1]
Bx E (1, infinity)
Cx E [ 1, infinity]
Dx E (-infinity, 1)

  1. Which represents the given compound inequality in interval notation?

X greater than or equal to x < -4

Ax E (-infinity,-4) U [8, infinity)
Bx E (-4,8]

C.x E [-4,8)

D.x E ( I infinity,-4] U (8, infinity)

  1. Which is the solution set of the given compound inequality?

7 > x + 6 or x -2 greater than or equal to 3

Ax E [1,5)
Bx E (-infinity,1) U [ 5,infinity)

C.x E (1,5]

Dx E (- infinity, 1) n [ 5, infinity)

  1. Which conjunction or disjunction is equivalent to the given absolute value inequality?

|x+3| > 12

Ax + 3 > 12 and x + 3 <-12
Bx + 3 > 12 or x + 3 <-12
Cx + 3 < 12 or x + 3 > -12
Dx + 3 < 12 and X + 3 > -12

Verified Answer :

1)  x < 4  the answer is    Option C: x E(-infinity,4)  (it is strict)
2) 
2x +6 < 8, and  2x < 8 - 6 = 2, and x<2/2=1
the answer is

D. x E (-infinity, 1)
3)  X greater than or equal to 8 and  x <  - 4
X greater than  8  means x ≥ 8
so we have x ≥ 8 and   x <  - 4
so the answer is 

B. x E (-4,8]
 4) 
7 > x + 6 or x -2 greater than or equal to 3,
7 > x + 6 or x -2 ≥ 3

7 -6> x, and 1>x

x -2 ≥ 3   x≥ 3+2=5
finally
x<1 and x≥5   

the answer is
C.x E (1,5]
5)

|x+3| > 12, 
|x+3| = { -(x+3) if x+3<0 or  (x+3)  if x+3>0}

so, it is  -(x+3)>12 is equivalent to (x+3)< -12  or (x+3)>12
the answer is
B. x + 3 > 12 or x + 3 <-12






Answer:

The corrext answer is C.
