The solutions to the equation \( x^2 = 18 \) are \( -6 \) and \( 6 \). In set notation, the solutions can be written as:

\[ { -6, 6 } \]

The solution to the inequality \( 4y + 1 > 17 \) is indeed \( y > 4 \). In set notation, this can be expressed as:

\[ { y \in \mathbb{R} \mid y > 4 } \]

This notation indicates that \( y \) is a member of the real numbers and must be greater than 4.

Sophie, Adola, and Gilly are debating potential values in the solution set of the compound inequality −2≤2x−2<8

is a solution. Adola says that 5 is a solution. Gilly says that 2 is a solution. Which person is correct? Enter 1 for Sophie, 2 for Adola, or 3 for Gilly.(1 point)
The person who is correct is person .

To solve the compound inequality \(-2 \leq 2x - 2 < 8\), we will break it down into two parts.

  1. First part: \[ -2 \leq 2x - 2 \] Add 2 to both sides: \[ 0 \leq 2x \] Divide by 2: \[ 0 \leq x \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 0 \]

  2. Second part: \[ 2x - 2 < 8 \] Add 2 to both sides: \[ 2x < 10 \] Divide by 2: \[ x < 5 \]

Combining both parts, the solution to the compound inequality is: \[ 0 \leq x < 5 \] or in interval notation: \[ [0, 5) \]

Now we will check the proposed solutions:

  • Sophie says \( -2 \): Not valid, since \(-2 < 0\).
  • Adola says \( 5 \): Not valid, since \(5\) is not less than \(5\).
  • Gilly says \( 2 \): Valid, since \(2\) is between \(0\) and \(5\).

The correct person is 3 for Gilly.

Option # correctly states the values that make the inequality true in set notation.

To solve the inequality \( 2m < 14 \), we first divide both sides by 2:

\[ m < 7 \]

Now, we need to express this solution in set notation. The correct notation for the values that satisfy this inequality is:

\[ { m : m < 7 } \]

Now, let's analyze the options given:

  • Option #1: \({ m : m < 7 }\) - This correctly describes the solution.
  • Option #2: \({ 7 : 7 < m }\) - Incorrect, as it indicates values greater than 7.
  • Option #3: \({ m < 7 : m }\) - Incorrect format.
  • Option #4: \({ m < 7 }\) - Incorrect formatting, as this does not follow the proper set notation.

Therefore, Option #1 correctly states the values that make the inequality true in set notation.

Which set notation correctly expresses the solution set to the equation 31−9x=4 ?(1 point)
Responses

(3)
left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis

​ (x=3)
​ left parenthesis x equals 3 right parenthesis

{x=3}
left brace x equals 3 right brace

{3}

To solve the equation \( 31 - 9x = 4 \), let's isolate \( x \).

  1. Subtract 31 from both sides: \[ -9x = 4 - 31 \] \[ -9x = -27 \]

  2. Divide both sides by -9: \[ x = \frac{-27}{-9} = 3 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is \( x = 3 \).

Now let's look at the provided response options for how to correctly express this solution in set notation:

  1. (3) - This is not a valid set notation; it's a single number.
  2. (x = 3) - This is not set notation; it describes the solution, but is not in set notation form.
  3. {x = 3} - This is a valid set notation expressing that \( x \) is equal to 3.
  4. {3} - This is also a valid set notation indicating the solution, specifying the value of \( x \).

Both {x = 3} and {3} are technically valid depending on the context. However, the most common and straightforward set notation for expressing the solution to the equation would be {3}.

Thus, the answer you would want to choose is {3}.

Trey, Amelia, and Cho are discussing the solution set to the equation x2+9=45 .

Amelia says the solution is {−6,6} .

None of them are correct.
None of them are correct.

Amelia

To solve the equation \( x^2 + 9 = 45 \), we first isolate \( x^2 \):

  1. Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ x^2 = 45 - 9 \] \[ x^2 = 36 \]

  2. Now take the square root of both sides: \[ x = \pm 6 \]

The solutions are \( x = 6 \) and \( x = -6 \).

Now let's review the responses:

  • Trey says the solution is {6}. (Incorrect, since both \( 6 \) and \( -6 \) are solutions.)
  • Amelia says the solution is {−6, 6}. (Correct, this includes both solutions.)
  • Cho says the solution is {−6}. (Incorrect, since both \( 6 \) and \( -6 \) are solutions.)

The correct person is Amelia.
