Solve the linear Inequations in R.Solve: 4x - 2 < 8, when(i) x ∈ R(ii) x ∈ Z(iii) x ∈ N

Answer»

Given as

4x – 2 < 8

4x – 2 + 2 < 8 + 2

4x < 10

Therefore divide by 4 on both sides we get,

4x/4 < 10/4

x < 5/2

(i) Given as x ∈ R

When x is a real number, the solution of the given inequation is (-∞, 5/2).

(ii) Given as x ∈ Z

When, 2 < 5/2 < 3

Therefore when, when x is an integer, the maximum possible value of x is 2.

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

(iii) Given as x ∈ N

When, 2 < 5/2 < 3

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