Algebra.Com's Answer #268439 by scott8148(6628) You can put this solution on YOUR website! substitute and solve for x ___ 400 < 5000x /(x^2+36)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "400x^2 + 14400 < 5000x\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 - 25x + 72 < 0\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "factoring ___ (2x - 9)(x - 8) < 0\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if x < 4.5 , both factors are < 0 , so the product is >0 \n" ); document.write( "if x > 8 , both factors are >0 , so the product is >0\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4.5 < x < 8\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you think about real life , businesses would be concentrated in the city center \n" ); document.write( "with people living farther out , but becoming less populated into the suburbs \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
