Given:
Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
To solve this problem, we'll simplify and evaluate the absolute value expressions:
Firstly, simplify the inner part of the nested absolute mixed with constants:
Calculate each absolute:
. This uses basic absolute value rules.
Subsequently, substitute back into initial inequality:
. Simplify by arithmetic:
. Thus, the expression turns to .
The expression can never be less than zero, because:
Therefore, the expression has No solution because it’s impossible under real number and absolute value rules.
No solution
Given:
\( \left|2x-1\right|>-10 \)
Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
Because absolute values are never negative! Since for any real number a, the expression must be at least 4, which can never be less than 0.
Work from the inside out! First solve , then substitute to get . Take your time with each step.
Then it would have infinitely many solutions! Since is always true, any real number a would work.
Let's double-check: , so . Then , so . The arithmetic is correct!
Yes! Any time you have positive constants plus absolute values being less than zero, it's impossible. For example, or have no solutions.
