Solve the inequality, 3x – 5 < x + 7, when(i) x is a natural number(ii) x is a whole number(iii) x is an integer (iv) x is a real number |
|
Answer» We have 3x – 5 < x + 7 ⇒ 3x < x + 12 (Adding 5 to both sides) ⇒ 2x < 12 (Subtracting x from both sides) ⇒ x < 6 (Dividing by 2 on both sides) (i) Solution set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} (ii) Solution set is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} (iii) Solution set is {....– 3, – 2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} (iv) Solution set is {x : x ∈ R and x < 6}, i.e., any real number less than 6. |
