Question 7071: I have been working on this problem forever and can not come up with the answer in the back of my book.
Please help me solve the following equation :
│x^2 + 5│ + │x - 2│ ≤ 8
This is what I did .
│x^2 + 5 + x - 2│≤ 8
-8 ≤ x^2 + 5 + x – 2 ≤ 8
-8 ≤ x^2 + x + 3 ≤ 8
then subtract -3 from all sides and get this
-11 ≤ x^2 + x ≤ 5, Then completing square for middle getting this
-11 + 1/4 ≤ x^2 + x + 1/4 ≤ 5 + 1/4
-43/4 ≤ x^2 + x + 1/4 ≤ 21/4
-43/4 ≤ (x + 1/2)^2 ≤ 21/4
Then don’t go any further because I now that I can not get the answer that is in the book.
Please tell me where I am going wrong.
TIA,
del
