Find the right set of values of x for: both 8(2x – 1) < 3 – x and (-x – 1)(9 - x) < 0
For (-x – 1)(9 - x) < 0,
1. Find roots: x = -1, x = 9.
2. Test intervals: x < -1, -1 < x < 9, x > 9.
3. Inequality is negative for -1 < x < 9.
Thus -1 < x < 9
For 8(2x – 1) < 3 – x,
1. Expand: 16x - 8 < 3 - x.
2. Combine: 17x < 11.
3. Divide: x <
Thus x< Click "Show Answer" to reveal the answer and analysis
