Question

03 - Describe the set S = {x : | ½x − 3| > 4} in terms of intervals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi,

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

$if\ \dfrac{x}{2}-3\ > \ 0\ then\ |\dfrac{x}{2}-3|=\dfrac{x}{2}-3\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}-3 > 4\\\\\dfrac{x}{2} > 7\\\\x > 14$

b)

$if\ \dfrac{x}{2}-3\ < \0 \ then\ |\dfrac{x}{2}-3|=-(\dfrac{x}{2}-3)=-\dfrac{x}{2}+3\\\\-\dfrac{x}{2}+3\ > \ 4\\\\-\dfrac{x}{2}\ > \ 4-3\\\\-\dfrac{x}{2}\ > \ 1\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}\ < \ -1\\\\x\ < \ -2$

$S=\{x\in\mathbb{R}\ :\ |\dfrac{x}{2}-3|\ > \ 4\}=(-\infty,-2[\ \cup\ ]14,\infty)$
