i want to know the solution of the following question...plzzzz help me ..
\n" ); document.write( "Q) 3/|2x-1|≥ 4
\n" ); document.write( "also tell me that what is the difference between these two inequalities?
\n" ); document.write( "3/|2x-1|≥4 AND 3/|2x-1|>4
\n" ); document.write( "can we solve these two in the same way???
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "3/|2x-1|≥ 4
\n" ); document.write( "We must solve for 2 conditions because we do not know if the expression within the absolute signs is > 0 or <0.
\n" ); document.write( "For (2x-1)>0
\n" ); document.write( "3/(2x-1)≥4
\n" ); document.write( "3≥8x-4
\n" ); document.write( "7≥8x
\n" ); document.write( "8x≤7
\n" ); document.write( "x≤7/8
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "For (2x-1)<0
\n" ); document.write( "3/(-2x+1)≥4
\n" ); document.write( "3≥-8x+4
\n" ); document.write( "-1≥-8x
\n" ); document.write( "divide by -1 and reverse inequality sign
\n" ); document.write( "1≤8x
\n" ); document.write( "8x≥1
\n" ); document.write( "x≥1/8
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "number line:
\n" ); document.write( "<........[1/8<===>7/8].............>
\n" ); document.write( "solution: [1/8,7/8]
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "To answer your questions:
\n" ); document.write( "As you can see from the solution, both inequalities can be solved in the same way.
\n" ); document.write( "The important difference is in the solution interval which shows whether or not the end values like 7/8 and 1/8 are included in the interval. ≤ or ≥ means they are included as the brackets [ ] indicate. If only < or > were used, parenthesis ( ) instead would be used. Hope this helps
