You can simply the above equation
1. 2x<7 = x<3.5 which means in order to satisfy the above notation the value of x has to be less that 3.5
2. -2x<7 = x<-3.5 it means in order to satisfy this notation the value of x has to be more than 3.5 in magnitude having - sign ..

When solving inequalities, dividing by a negative number requires you to fliip the sign.

So to solve 2x < 7 you simply divide by 2

x < 7/2

However with -2x < 7, you have to flip the sign

x > -7/2

Answer:

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Just ignore it and write the repeating decimal. If you're asked to do it, round it up instead.

Find all the zeroes of the polynomial function f(x)=x^3-5x^2+6x-30 using synthetic division.
WITCHER [35]
Write the coeeficientes of the polynomial in order:

  | 1   - 5   6   - 30
  |
  |
  |
------------------------

After some trials you probe with 5

   | 1   - 5       6     - 30
   |
   |
5 |        5      0       30
-----------------------------
     1     0      6        0 <---- residue

Given that the residue is 0, 5 is a root.

The quotient is x^2 + 6 = 0, which does not have a real root.

Therefore, 5 is the only root. You can prove it by solving the polynomial x^2 + 6 = 0.
