The graph below represents the solution set of which inequality?

Mathematics
1 answer:
natulia [17]3 years ago
5 0

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.

For the first 8 months at his new job, James gets
Vikentia [17]

James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let b represent the rate of pay increase and a represent the initial pay.

Let us assume that he had received 128000 after the 8 months. hence:

128000 = ab⁸   (1)

Also in the 10th month, he had received 512000, hence:

512000 = ab¹⁰    (2)

From the both equations:

a = 500, b = 2

rate of increase = 200% - 100% = 100%

James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.
