Understanding Absolute Value Inequality: |x-5| > -11

Question

Given:

\left|x-5\right|>-11

Which of the following statements is necessarily true?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The absolute value expression \left| x - 5 \right| > -11 inherently suggests that for any real number x x , the inequality holds.

Since the absolute value of any expression is always non-negative and 11-11 is negative, the condition \left| x - 5 \right| > -11 is always satisfied regardless of the choice of x x .

Thus, there is no specific limitation or exceptional circumstance that confines x x to any particular subset of the real numbers.

This implies that no particular statement about x x being greater, less, or constrained to a specific domain can be justified. Therefore, the notion of any statement being "necessarily true" in the conventional sense of constraining x x does not apply.

The correct answer, therefore, is: all x x .

Answer

all x x
