Solution

It seems the image has been successfully uploaded. Let me extract the contents and help solve the inequalities.The text extracted from the image appears to contain some formatting issues. Based on what I could interpret, here are the inequalities:

  1. 53x<11255^{3 - x} < \frac{1}{125}
  2. 7e5t2>57 - e^{5t - 2} > 5

Let me now solve them step by step.


Part (a) 53x<11255^{3 - x} < \frac{1}{125}:

  1. Recall that 1125\frac{1}{125} can be written as 535^{-3}, so the inequality becomes: 53x<535^{3 - x} < 5^{-3}

  2. Since the bases are the same, we can equate the exponents (remembering to reverse the inequality because 5x5^x is an increasing function): 3x<33 - x < -3

  3. Solve for xx: x<6-x < -6 x>6x > 6

Part (b) 7e5t2>57 - e^{5t - 2} > 5:

  1. Subtract 7 from both sides: e5t2>2-e^{5t - 2} > -2

  2. Multiply both sides by -1 (remembering to reverse the inequality): e5t2<2e^{5t - 2} < 2

  3. Take the natural logarithm of both sides to isolate tt: 5t2<ln(2)5t - 2 < \ln(2)

  4. Solve for tt: 5t<ln(2)+25t < \ln(2) + 2 t<ln(2)+25t < \frac{\ln(2) + 2}{5}
