Math Problem Statement
Which of the following are solutions to the inequality -2 < q? Select all that apply.
Solution
The inequality provided in the image is:
This inequality means that must be greater than .
Now, let's evaluate the possible values:
- : Since , this satisfies the inequality.
- : Since , this does not satisfy the inequality.
- : Since , this does not satisfy the inequality.
- : Since , this does not satisfy the inequality.
Thus, the only correct solution is .
Do you need more details or have any questions?
Here are some related questions to consider:
- What happens if the inequality was ?
- How do inequalities change when you multiply or divide by a negative number?
- Can we represent this inequality graphically on a number line?
- How would the solution change if the inequality was ?
- What is the difference between strict inequalities and non-strict inequalities?
Tip: When solving inequalities, remember that multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.
