Understanding Double Inequalities
Solving the Inequality -6 > 4x < 12
- The discussion begins with the inequality -6 > 4x < 12, emphasizing that the variable x will be positioned in the center of the inequality.
- To isolate x, values are moved across the inequality. The term +4 is subtracted from both sides, maintaining the direction of the inequality.
- After simplifying, it’s noted that dividing by a negative number (in this case, -1) reverses the inequality symbols. This results in a new form of the inequality.
Graphical Representation of Solutions
- A graphical approach is introduced to visualize solutions on a number line ranging from negative infinity to positive infinity, with critical points at -8 and 10.
- The solution indicates that values greater than -8 move towards positive infinity while those less than or equal to 10 remain open-ended due to lack of equality in conditions.
Valid Solution Intervals
- The valid interval for solutions is determined as (10, +∞), where both conditions are satisfied. The endpoints are represented with parentheses indicating they are not included in the solution set.
