A scientific theory is a validated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on multiple facts that have been frequently verified through research and experimentation. Fact theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.
Answer:
option: B () 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:
On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:
⇒
⇒
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:
and
i.e. x>-2 and x<4
so we have the region as:
(-2,4)
Case 2:
and
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:
On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:
⇒
⇒
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:
and
i.e. x>2 and x<-4
Hence, we do not get a common region.
Case 2:
and
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)
On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:
⇒
⇒
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:
and
i.e. x>-2 and x>4
Hence, the common region is (4,∞)
Case 2:
and
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)
On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:
⇒
⇒
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:
and
i.e. x<2 and x<-4
Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-4)
Case 2:
and
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.
