Determine whether x > - 4 is a solution of the inequality. I really can't figure this out. Please help!
Thank you again. You people are wonderful. Thank you for your time and genorosity.
" ... is a solution of the inequality "
What inequality ?
Determine whether -4 is a solution to the inequality x > - 4
I apologize, I haven't slept all night doing my homework. Thank you so very much.
so... , is -4 greater than -4 ?
To determine whether a given value is a solution to an inequality, you need to substitute the value into the inequality and check if the inequality is true or false.
In this case, you want to check if the value x > -4 is a solution to the inequality. To do this, substitute the value x > -4 into the inequality and see if it holds true.
Let's substitute the value x > -4 into the inequality:
x > -4
Since "x" is greater than -4, any value that is greater than -4 will make the inequality true. For example, if we choose x = -3, the inequality becomes:
-3 > -4
And since -3 is greater than -4, the inequality is true. Therefore, x > -4 is a solution to the inequality.
If you want to confirm this using a number line, you can draw a number line and mark -4 on it. Then, shade the region to the right of -4 to represent all the values of x that are greater than -4. This shading confirms that x > -4 is a solution to the inequality.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
