Solve the Complex Inequality: |-5 + |2b - 3| + |-b + 4| < 0

Question

Given:

5+2b3+b+4<0 |-5 + |2b - 3| + |-b + 4| < 0

Which of the following statements is necessarily true?

Step-by-Step Solution

The given inequality is: |-5 + |2b - 3| + |-b + 4| < 0 .

This translates to checking if the sum of absolute values and other constants can yield a negative result.

Let's consider the expression inside the absolute values:

5+2b3+b+40 |-5 + |2b - 3| + |-b + 4| \ge 0 for all real numbers b b .

The absolute value of any expression is always non-negative. Therefore, 2b30|2b - 3| \ge 0 and b+40|-b + 4| \ge 0 .

Adding these non-negative values to -5 will still yield a result that is greater than or equal to -5. Since -5 is not less than 0, the inequality cannot hold true for any real number b b .

Hence, the statement "No solution" is correct.

Answer

No solution
