Solve the linear Inequations in R.Solve: 12x < 50, when(i) x ∈ R(ii) x ∈ Z(iii) x ∈ N

Answer»

Given as

12x < 50

Therefore when we divide by 12, we get

12x/12 < 50/12

x < 25/6

(i) Given as x ∈ R

When x is a real number, the solution of the given inequation is (-∞, 25/6).

(ii) Given as x ∈ Z

When, 4 < 25/6 < 5

Therefore when, when x is an integer, the maximum possible value of x is 4.

The solution of the given inequation is {…, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.

(iii) Given as x ∈ N

When, 4 < 25/6 < 5

Therefore when, when x is a natural number, the maximum possible value of x is 4. As we know that the natural numbers start from 1, the solution of the given inequation is {1, 2, 3, 4}.
