Answer: Choice D
=====================================================
Explanation:
The left portion is the interval (-∞, -2)
This is a shorthand way of saying
The curved parenthesis says "do not include this endpoint as part of the solution set". Note the open hole at x = -2 in the diagram.
In contrast, the value x = 4 is included (due to the filled in circle), so we use a square bracket for this endpoint. Therefore, the right-hand portion is represented by [4, ∞) which translates to
Negative and positive infinity will always use a parenthesis, and never a square bracket. This is because we can only approach infinity but never reach it, so we cannot include it as an endpoint.
All of this builds up to the full interval notation to be
The only square bracket is near the 4; everything else is a curved parenthesis. This is why choice D is the final answer.
Answer:
The18th term of the given sequence is -128
Explanation:
To find the 18th term of the sequence:
42, 32, 22, 12, ..., we need to find the nth term of the sequence first.
The nth term of a sequence is given be the formula:
Where a is the first term, and d is the common difference.
Here, a = 42, d = 32 - 42 = -10
To find the 18th terem, substitute n = 18 into the nth term
The given inequality is:
This inequality can be divided in two parts as:
a)
b)
Solving part a:
Solving part b:
Therefore, the solution to the given inequality is
and 
. Combining both the ranges we get the solution: 
.
In interval notation, this solution can be expressed as [1,5]
This inequality can be divided in two parts as:
a)
b)
Solving part a:
Solving part b:
Therefore, the solution to the given inequality is
In interval notation, this solution can be expressed as [1,5]
