What is the solution to the inequality |2n+5|>1?
Question
Answer:
Answer:ANSWERn < - 3 \: or \: n > - 2n<β3orn>β2EXPLANATIONThe given inequality is,|2n + 5| \: > \: 1β£2n+5β£>1By the definition of absolute value,- (2n + 5) \: > \: 1 \: or \: (2n + 5) \: > \: 1β(2n+5)>1or(2n+5)>1We divide through by negative 1, in the first part of the inequality and reverse the sign to get,2n + 5 \: < \: - 1 \: or \: (2n + 5) \: > \: 12n+5<β1or(2n+5)>1We simplify now to get,2n \: < \: - 1 - 5 \: or \: 2n \: > \: 1 - 52n<β1β5or2n>1β52n \: < \: - 6 \: or \: 2n \: > \: - 42n<β6or2n>β4Divide through by 2 to obtain,n \: < \: - 3 \: or \: n \: > \: - 2n<β3orn>β2
