Let me know if this helps :)
Any number inside the modulus sign becomes positive. This means 
and so we have,
Solving these gives us
However if we check the second solution in the original equation we obtain 
. This is false and so 
can't be a solution.
Therefore the only solution is 
.
(Note: I'm not sure why the second solution didn't work but when there's a modulus sign involved it always pays to check your final answers to be sure. I'll have a think about it but in case you find out before I do, I'd be interested to know in the comments.)
5/8÷1/3=5/8×3/1
(multiply by reciprocal instead of dividing)
5/8×3/1=15/8=1.875
Answer:
The solution set is the empty set.
Step-by-step explanation:
{x | x < 2} is the set of all numbers less than 2. This means x can take values such as 1.99, 0, -2000 and so on. That is, all values less than 2.
{x | x ≥ 2} is the set of all numbers equal to or greater than 2. This means x can take values such as 2, 2.1, 5000, and so on. That is, 2 or any value greater than 2.
Since there is no sign between the two sets, the question is asking for the intersection between these two sets. That is, what elements are common to these two sets? As we can see, the two sets don't have any common element. Hence, their intersection is the empty set.
(Note that the union of these two sets would be the set of all real numbers as that includes all elements from either set).
