Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to graph both and
and figure out <em>the x-value at which the graph of
is LESS THAN that of the graph of
.</em>
<em />
The attached picture shows the graph of in BLUE and the graph of
in RED.
<em><u>We need to find x-value where the BLUE graph is "BELOW" the RED graph.</u></em> We can see that this occurs when x < 0.
Thus the correct answer is D
For this case we have to:
x: Be the variable that represents the largest number
y: Be the variable that represents the smallest number
We propose a system of equations:
From the first equation we have to:
Substituting in the second equation:
We look for the value of "x":
