Question 11 Mark
If |x−1| 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:

|x−1| > 5

⇒ x − 1 > 5 or x − 1 < −5

⇒ x > 5 + 1 or x < −5 + 1

⇒ x > 6 or x < −4

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

Question 21 Mark
If − 3x + 17 < -13, then:
  1. $\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$
  2. $\text{x}\in[10,\infty)$
  3. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,10]$
  4. $\text{x}\in[-10,10)$
Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$

Solution:

− 3x + 17 < −13

Subtracting 17 on both sides, we get

⇒ −3x + 17 − 17 < −13 − 17

⇒ −3x < − 30

Dividing −3 on both sides, we get

$\Rightarrow\frac{-3\text{x}}{-3}>\frac{-30}{-3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}>10$

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

Question 31 Mark
If $\frac{|\text{x}-2|}{\text{x}-2}\geq0,$ then:
  1. $\text{x}\in[2,\infty)$
  2. $\text{x}\in(2,\infty)$
  3. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,2)$
  4. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,2]$
Answer
  1. [-7, 3]

Solution:

$|\text{x}+2|\leq5$

$\Rightarrow-5\leq\text{x}+2\leq5$

$\Rightarrow-5-2\leq\text{x}+2-2\leq5-2$

$\Rightarrow-7\leq\text{x}\leq3$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in[-7,3]$

  3. $\text{x}\leq-5$
  4. $-5\leq\text{x}\leq5$
Answer
  1. $-5<\text{x}<5$

Solution:

If x is a real number.

|x| < 5

⇒ -5 < x < 5

Question 51 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:

$|\text{x}+2|\leq9$

$\Rightarrow-9\leq\text{x}+2\leq9$

$\Rightarrow-9-2\leq\text{x}+2-2\leq9-2$

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

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

Question 61 Mark
If $|\text{x}+3|\geq10,$ then:
  1. $\text{x}\in(-12,7]$
  2. $\text{x}\in(-13,7)$
  3. $\text{x}\in(\infty,-13)\cup(7,\infty)$
  4. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,-13]\cup[7,\infty)$
Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,-13]\cup[7,\infty)$

Solution:

$|\text{x}+3|\geq10$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}+3\geq10\text{ or }\text{x}+3;\leq-10$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\geq10-3\text{ or }\text{x}\leq-10-3$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\geq7\ \text{or}\ \text{x}\leq-13$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(-\infty,-13)\cup[7,\infty)$

Question 71 Mark
If x < 7, then:
  1. $-\text{x}<-7$
  2. $-\text{x}\leq-7$
  3. $-\text{x}>-7$
  4. $-\text{x}\geq-7$
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

Question 81 Mark
If x and a are real numbers such that a > 0 and |x| > a, then:
  1. $\text{x}\in(-\text{a},\infty)$
  2. $\text{x}\in[-\infty,\text{a}]$
  3. $\text{x}\in(-\text{a},\text{a})$
  4. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,-\text{a})\cup(\text{a},\infty)$
Answer
  1. $\text{x}\in(-\infty,-\text{a})\cup(\text{a},\infty)$

Solution:

If x and a are real numbers such that a > 0.

|x| > a

⇒ x > a or x < −a

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

Question 91 Mark
The linear inequality representing the solution set given in Fig. is:
  1. $\text{|x|}<5$
  2. $\text{|x|}>5$
  3. $\text{|x|}\geq5$
  4. $\text{|x|}\geq5$

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

Solution:

As according to the graph,

x lies between $(-\infty,-5]$ and $[5,\infty)$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}\geq5$ or $\text{x}\leq-5$

$\Rightarrow|\text{x}|\geq5$

Question 101 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 and b are real numbers and x < y, b > 0.

Both sides of an inequality can be multiplied or divided by the same positive number.

$\therefore\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}<\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}$

The inequality representing the following graph is:

  1. $\text{|x|}<3$
  2. $\text{|x|}\leq3$
  3. $\text{|x|}>3$
  4. $\text{|x|}\geq3$
Answer
  1. $\text{|x|}\leq3$

Solution:

As according to the graph,

x lies between −3 and 3
