Question

Write an inequality that represents the verbal expression all real numbers less than 74

Answer 1

The required inequality is $\bold{x < 74}$

SOLUTION:  

Given, a verbal expression: all real numbers less than 74. Assume the set of real numbers that are less than 74 as x.

So, the inquality expression will be $\bold{x$ where the symbol < is the less-than sign

The real numbers include all the rational numbers, such as the integer −5 and the fraction $\frac{4}{3}$, and all the irrational numbers, such as $\sqrt2$ (1.41421356..., the square root of 2, an irrational algebraic number)

An inequality says that two values are not equal. The five inequality symbols are as follows,

• ≠ = not equal to

• > = greater than

• < = less than

• ≥ = greater than or equal to

• ≤ = less than or equal to
