Zorluk: OrtaLinear Inequalities and Absolute Value

If xx is a real number that satisfies the inequality 3x39|3x - 3| \le 9, which of the following statements must be true? Select all that apply.

  2. x13|x - 1| \le 3Cevap
  3. x216x^2 \le 16Cevap
  4. D

  5. E

Cevap

The statements that must be true are 42x8-4 \le 2x \le 8, x13|x - 1| \le 3, and x216x^2 \le 16.
Solving 3x39|3x - 3| \le 9 gives 93x39-9 \le 3x - 3 \le 9, which simplifies to 2x4-2 \le x \le 4. Multiplying this range by 2 yields 42x8-4 \le 2x \le 8. Subtracting 1 gives 3x13-3 \le x - 1 \le 3, which is x13|x - 1| \le 3. Squaring values in [2,4][-2, 4] yields non-negative numbers up to 16, so x216x^2 \le 16 is also true.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Unfold the absolute value inequality into a compound inequality.
93x39-9 \le 3x - 3 \le 9
By definition, uk|u| \le k (where k0k \ge 0) is equivalent to kuk-k \le u \le k.
2
Add 3 to all parts of the compound inequality.
63x12-6 \le 3x \le 12
Isolating the variable term 3x3x.
3
Divide all parts by 3 to solve for xx.
2x4-2 \le x \le 4
Dividing by a positive constant preserves the direction of the inequality signs.
4
Test each proposed statement against the interval [2,4][-2, 4].
42x8-4 \le 2x \le 8 is true; x13|x - 1| \le 3 is true; x216x^2 \le 16 is true; x0x \ge 0 fails for x=1x = -1; 1x21 - x \le 2 fails for x=2x = -2.
