Given Solution: * * My notes here show the half-closed interval [0, 1). When sketching the graph you would use a filled dot at x = 0 and an unfilled dot at x = 1, and you would fill in the line from x = 0 to x = 1. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.40 (was 1.5.30). How did you fill in the blank for 'if x < -4 then x + 4 ____ 0'? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: If x < -4 then x + 4 will always be < 0 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * if x<-4 then x cannot be -4 and x+4 < 0. Algebraically, adding 4 to both sides of x < -4 gives us x + 4 < 0. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.46 (was 1.5.36). How did you fill in the blank for 'if x > -2 then -4x ____ 8'? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: If x > -2, we multiply each side by -4, we get -4x < 8 Anytime you multiply an inequality by a negative number you must switch the sign So -4x < 8 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * if x> -2 then if we multiply both sides by -4 we get -4x <8. Recall that the inequality sign has to reverse if you multiply or divide by a negative quantity. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.58 (was 1.5.48). Explain how you solved the inquality 2x + 5 >= 1. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Solve for x Subtract 5 from both sides 2x >= -4 Divide each side by 2 X >= -2 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * Starting with 2x+5>= 1 we add -5 to both sides to get 2x>= -4, the divide both sides by 2 to get the solution x >= -2. ** Self-critique (if necessary)ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.64 (was 1.5.54). Explain how you solved the inquality 8 - 4(2-x) <= 2x. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Use the distributive property 8 - 8 + 4x <= 2x Subtract 4x from both sides 8 - 8 <= -2x 0 <= -2x Divide each side by -2 0 <= x confidence rating #$&*:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * 8- 4(2-x)<= 2x. Using the distributive law: 8-8+4x<= 2x . Simplifying: 4x<=2x . Subtracting 2x from both sides: 2x<=0. Multiplying both sides by 1/2 we get x<=-0 ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.76 (was 1.5.66). Explain how you solved the inquality 0 < 1 - 1/3 x < 1. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Solve the inequality as 2 inequalities 0 < 1 - 1/3x and 1 - 1/3x < 1 Solve both equations for x 0 < 1 - 1/3x Subtract 1 from both sides -1 < -1/3x Multiply each side by -3 3 < x (the sign reverses when multiplied by a negative) 1 - 1/3x < 1 Subtract 1 from both sides -1/3x < 0 Multiply each side by -3 x > 0 therefore, the solution is 0 < x < 3 confidence rating #$&*:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * Starting with 0<1- 1/3x<1 we can separate this into two inequalities, both of which must hold: 0< 1- 1/3x and 1- 1/3x < 1. Subtracting 1 from both sides we get -1< -1/3x and -1/3x < 0. We solve these inequalitites separately: -1 < -1/3 x can be multiplied by -3 to get 3 > x (multiplication by the negative reverses the direction of the inequality) -1/3 x < 0 can be multiplied by -3 to get x > 0. So our inequality can be written 3 > x > 0. This is not incorrect but we usually write such inequalities from left to right, as they would be seen on a number line. The same inequality is expressed as 0 < x < 3. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.94 (was 1.5.84). Explain how you found a and b for the conditions 'if -3 < x < 3 then a < 1 - 2x < b. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: To solve this expression for a and b, perform all the operations on all three parts to make the middle part of the inequality First multiply each part by -2 6 > -2x > -6 Add 1 to each side 7 > 1 - 2x > -5 Or -5 < 1 - 2x < 7 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * Adding 1 to each expression gives us 1 + 6 > 1 - 2x > 1 - 6, which we simplify to get 7 > 1 - 2x > -5. Writing in the more traditional 'left-toright' order: -5 < 1 - 2x < 7. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.106 (was 1.5.96). Explain how you set up and solved an inequality for the problem. Include your inequality and the reasoning you used to develop the inequality. Problem (note that this statement is for instructor reference; the full statement was in your text) commision $25 + 40% of excess over owner cost; range is $70 to $300 over owner cost. What is range of commission on a sale? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: X represents the owner cost The range $70 to $300, makes the inequality 70 < x < 300 Multiply each part by .40 28 < .40x < 120 Add 25 to each part 53 < 25 + .40x < 145 confidence rating #$&*:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * If x = owner cost then 70 < x < 300. .40 * owner cost is then in the range .40 * 70 < .40 x < .40 * 300 and $25 + 40% of owner cost is in the range 25 + .40 * 70 < 25 + .40 x < 25 + .40 * 300 or 25 + 28 < 25 + .40 x < 25 + 120 or 53 < 25 + .40 x < 145. * &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * 1.5.123 \ 112. Why does the inequality x^2 + 1 < -5 have no solution YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Subtract 1 from both sides X^2 < -6 X < sqrt(-6) It is impossible to get the square root of a negative number confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: * * STUDENT SOLUTION: x^2 +1 < -5 x^2 < -4 x < sqrt -4 can't take the sqrt of a negative number INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: Good. Alternative: As soon as you got to the step x^2 < -4 you could have stated that there is no such x, since a square can't be negative. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: #*&!
