Assuming that the inequality you were going for was a ≤, set both polynomials less than or equal to 0.
x - 3 ≤ 0
x + 5 ≤ 0
For the first equation add 3 to both sides of the inequality. For the second, subtract 5 from both sides.
x ≤ 3
x ≤ - 5
These would be your solutions I guess, however, if you want to expand upon that, your actual answer is (- ∞, - 5] because if you were to plot these two inequalities on a number line, that is where the overlap would occur.
The percent of change will always be represented by a positive number because that change is an absolute value. Absolute values will always stay positive because the direction is ignored. It's not like a -1 or a -2, but it's a zero or a 3.
Hope this helped you out! :D
Answer:
3.08 x 10^-3
Step-by-step explanation:
when putting into scientific notation, you must make it to where there is one number to the left of the decimal. If you move the decimal left, it equals a negative power, if you move it right, it equals a positive power.
