Mathematics

Answer:

option: B (x^2+2x-8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the solution set as seen from the graph as:

(-4,2)

1)

On solving the first inequality we have:

x^2-2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8

⇒  x(x-4)+2(x-4)=0

⇒ (x+2)(x-4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4

i.e. x>-2 and x<4

so we have the region as:

(-2,4)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4>0

i.e. x<-2 and x>4

Hence, we did not get a common region.

Hence from both the cases we did not get the required region.

Hence, option 1 is incorrect.

2)

We are given the second inequality as:

x^2+2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)

⇒ (x-2)(x+4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x-2>0 and x+4

i.e. x>2 and x<-4

Hence, we do not get a common region.

Case 2:

x-2 and x+4>0

i.e. x<2 and x>-4

Hence the common region is (-4,2) which is same as the given option.

Hence, option B is correct.

3)

x^2-2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8>0

⇒ x(x-4)+2(x-4)>0

⇒ (x-4)(x+2)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4>0

i.e. x>-2 and x>4

Hence, the common region is (4,∞)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4

i.e. x<-2 and x<4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-2)

Hence, from both the cases we did not get the desired answer.

Hence, option C is incorrect.

4)

x^2+2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8>0

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)>0

⇒ (x-2)(X+4)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x-2 and x+4

i.e. x<2 and x<-4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-4)

Case 2:

x-2>0 and x+4>0

i.e. x>2 and x>-4.

Hence, the common region is: (2,∞)

Hence from both the case we do not have the desired region.

Hence, option D is incorrect.

IL<br> 8x-9<br> 5x-3<br> What’s x
shepuryov [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-9=5x-3

Move any equation to the opposite side. I'll use the left this time

8x - 8x - 9 + 9 = 5x - 8x - 3 + 9

0 =  - 3x  + 6

move 6 to opp side

- 3x =  - 6

\frac{ - 6 =  - 3x}{ - 3}

x = 2
