What is the solution of |x – 2| > –3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Amanda [17]3 years ago
6 0
Answer: The solution is the set of all real numbers (there are infinitely many solutions).

The reason why this is the case is because |x| is never negative. The smallest it can get is 0, which is larger than -3. That applies to |x-2| as well. So |x-2| is ALWAYS larger than -3 no matter what you pick for x. The smallest |x-2| can get is 0 and that happens when x = 2. Otherwise, the result is some positive value which is larger than -3.

So that's why |x-2| > -3 has infinitely many solutions. We can replace x with any real number we want, and the inequality would be true.

Use factoring to simplify the expression x^2-x-6/x-3 assume that x does not equal 3
Gre4nikov [31]
This works out beautifully.  You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it.  If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2).  Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.
