Question 21 Mark

If $|\text{x}+2|\leq9,$ then:

  1. $\text{x}\in(-7,11)$

  2. $\text{x}\in[-11, 7]$

  3. $\text{x}\in[-\infty,-7)\cup(11,\infty) $

  4. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,-7)\cup[11,\infty) $

Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in[-11, 7]$

Solution:

Given that $|\text{x}+2|\leq9$

$\Rightarrow-9\leq\text{x}+2\leq9$ 

$\Rightarrow-9-2\leq\text{x}\leq9-2[|\text{x}\leq\text{a}|]$ 

$\Rightarrow-11\leq\text{x}\leq7$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in[-11, 7]$

Question 31 Mark

If – 3x + 17 < – 13, then:

  1. $\text{x}\in(10, \infty)$ 

  2. $\text{x}\in[10, \infty)$ 

  3. $\text{x}\in(-\infty\text{j},10]$ 

  4. $\text{x}\in[-10, 10)$

Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in(10, \infty)$

Solution:

Given that - 3x + 17 < - 13

⇒ - 3x < - 17 - 13

⇒ -3x < - 30

⇒ 3x > 30

⇒ x > 10

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(10, \infty)$

Question 41 Mark

Given that x, y and b are real numbers and x < y, b < 0, then:

  1. $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}<\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}$ 

  2. $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\leq\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}$ 

  3. $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}>\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}$

  4. $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\geq\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}$

Answer
  1. $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}>\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}$

Solution:

Given that x < y, b < 0

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}>\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}},\text{b}<0$

Question 51 Mark

If x is a real number and |x| < 3, then:

  1. $\text{x}\geq3$

  2. $-3<\text{x}<3$

  3. $\text{x}\leq-3$

  4. $-3\leq\text{x}\leq3$

Answer
  1. $-3\leq\text{x}\leq3$

Solution:

Given that |x| < 3

⇒ -3 < x < 3 | x | < a

⇒ -a < x < a.

Question 61 Mark

Solution of a linear inequality in variable x is represented on number line.

  1. $\text{x}\in[-\infty,5) $

  2. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,5) $

  3. $\text{x}\in(5,\infty) $

  4. $\text{x}\in[5,\infty) $ 

Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in[5,\infty) $

Solution:

The given graph represents all value of x greater than 5 including 5 on the real number line.

So, $\text{x}\in[5,\infty). $

Question 101 Mark

If |x - 1| > 5, then:

  1. $\text{x}\in(-4, 6)$

  2. $\text{x}\in[-4,6]$

  3. $\text{x}\in[-\infty,-4)\cup(6,\infty) $

  4. $\text{x}\in[-\infty,-4)\cup[6,\infty) $

Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in[-\infty,-4)\cup(6,\infty) $

Solution:

Given that |x - 1| > 5

⇒ (x - 1) < -5 or (x - 1) > 5

⇒ x < -5 + 1 or x > 5 + 1

⇒ x < -4 or x > 6

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in[-\infty,-4)\cup(6,\infty) $

Question 111 Mark

x and b are real numbers. If b > 0 and |x| > b, then:

  1. $\text{x}\in(-\text{b},\infty)$

  2. $\text{x}\in(\infty,-\text{b})$ 

  3. $\text{x}\in(-\text{b},\text{b})$ 

  4. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,-\text{b})\cup(\text{b},\infty)$

Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,-\text{b})\cup(\text{b,}\infty)$

Solution:

Given that |x| > b, b > 0

⇒ x < -b or x > b

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(-\infty,-\text{b})\cup(\text{b,}\infty)$
