-9 < x <-2. I need help

Answer:

All real numbers larger than -9 and smaller than -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You may be asked to understand what the set of the numbers represented by the variable "x" under the double inequality symbol means.

Recall that the inequality symbol < reads "strictly less than" as you read from left to right, and on the other hand it reads "strictly larger than" if you read from right to left.

Therefore the left part of the inequality that states: -9 < x can be read:

a) from left to right: "negative nine is strictly less than x."

b) from right to left: "x is strictly larger than negative nine."

Similarly you can examine the right hand side of the inequality that states: x < -2:

a) From left to right "x is strictly less than negative two"

b) From right to left: "negative two is strictly larger than x"

To understand what this set of x numbers is, the best thing is to visualize it on the number line. Find on the number line the two given numerical values: -9 and -2 (placed on the left side of the origin zero since they are negative numbers). Mark them on the number line, and visualize all the numbers that are "strictly larger than -9" (which are those located to the right of -9. and also what are the number x that satisfy to be strictly less than -2 (that is to the left of point -2 on the number line.

The x values that satisfy both conditions are those numbers in between -9 and -2 as shown in the attached image highlighted in color green. The parentheses placed in the locations for -9 and -2 on the number line are by convention indicating that the actual values -9 and -2 are NOT included in the set.

A line intersects the points (6, -12) and (15, -3). What is the slope intercept equation for this line?
Korolek [52]
Let's say that the unknown value here is c. Although we are given two points on the line, it is only necessary to use one as there is only one unknown value, so let's say we choose the point (6, -12) and substitute this into the equation:

-12 = 1(6) - c
-12 - 6 = -c
-18 = -c
c = 18

Thus the equation for the line is y = 1x - 18

What is the radius of a circle if the area is 78.5 cm^2
Verizon [17]
78.5= (3.14)r^2
25=r^2
5=r
So, the radius of a circle with an area is 78.5 cm^2 is 5 cm^2

If f(x)=7x-3, what is the value of x when f(x)=1
frosja888 [35]
Set up your equation:
1 = 7x - 3

Add 3 to both sides:
7x = 4

Divide both sides by 7:
x = 4/7

Hope this helps!

What two numbers have a sum of -7 and a difference of 14?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 14 and their difference is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 numbers (x and y)

x+y = 14

and x-y + 10

If you each equation by positive 2, one gets 2x+2y = 28 and 2x-2y = 20

The 'y-terms' cancel out or equal zero when adding, so 4x = 48, divide by 4 on each side and x or the first number equals 12.

Plug 12 back into the equation for 'x' and subtract 12 on both sides so that y=2

The difference of 12-2=10 and the addition of 12 and 2 equals 14"

hopes this helps
