Answer
  1. $ –1\leq\text{x}<2$

Solution:

Given,

$-8\leq5\text{x}-3$ and $5\text{x}-3<7$

Let us solve these two inequalities simultaneously.

$-8\leq5\text{x}-3$ and $5\text{x}-3<7$ can be written as:

$– 8\leq5\text{x} –3 < 7$

Adding 3, we get

$– 8 + 3\leq5\text{x}-3+3<7+3$

$–5\leq5\text{x}<10$

Dividing by 5, we get

$–1\leq\text{x}<2$

Inequations involved in the given region are____________?

  • A

  • B
    $2\text{x}+\text{y}>,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$
  • C
    $2\text{x}+\text{y}<6,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$
  • D
    $2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$
Answer
  1. $2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$

Solution:

Since region involves 1st quadrant so $\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0.$

Two points on line are $(0,6)$ and$(3,0)$

$\frac{(\text{y}-6)}{(0-6)} =\frac{(\text{x}-0)}{(3-0)}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{y}-6)}{(-6)}=\frac{\text{x}}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{y}-6=2\text{x}\Rightarrow2\text{x}+\text{y}=6$

$2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6$ since $(0,0) $ should also satisfy.

So, $ 2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6, \text{x}\geq0, \text{y}\geq0.$

    Answer
    1. $\big(1,3\big]$

    Solution:

    $\frac{2\text{x}+4}{\text{x}-1}\geq5$

    $\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}+4}{\text{x}-1}-5\geq0$

    $\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}+4-5(\text{x-1})}{\text{x-1}}\geq0$

    $\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}+4-\text{5x+5}}{\text{x-1}}\geq0$

    $\Rightarrow\frac{9-3\text{x}}{\text{x-1}}\geq0$

    $\Rightarrow\frac{-3\text{(x-3)}}{\text{x}-1}\geq0$

    Multiplying each side of an inequality by a negative number $\big(\frac{-1}{3}\big)$ reverses the direction of the inequality symbol.

    $\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}-3)}{\text{x}-1}\leq0$ Here $\text{x}-1\neq0\Rightarrow\text{x}\neq1$

        double inequality
      • B
        quadratic inequality
      • C
        numerical inequality
      • D
        linear inequality
      Answer
      1. quadratic inequality

      Solution:

      Since it has highest power of x ‘2’ and has inequality sign so, it is called quadratic inequality.

      It is not numerical inequality as it does not have numbers on both sides of inequality.

      It does not have two inequality signs so it is not double inequality.

      • D
        $-\text{x}\geq-7$
      Answer
      1. $-\text{x}>-7$

      Solution:

      x < 7

      subtracting x on both sides, we get

      ⇒ x − x < 7 − x

      ⇒ 0 < 7 − x

      subtracting 7 on both sides, we get

      ⇒ 0 − 7 < 7 − x − 7

      ⇒ −7 < − x

      ⇒ − x > −7

        Solution:

        Given, $|\text{x} + 1| +\sqrt{(\text{x} – 1)}= 0, $where each term is non - negative.

        So, $ |\text{x} + 1| = 0 $ and $\sqrt{\text{(x-1})}=0$ should be zero simultaneously.

        $\text{i}.\text{e}. \text{x} = -1 $ and $\text{x}=1,$ which is not possible.

        So, there is no value of x for which each term is zero simultaneously.
