For the inequality x <(underlined) -3, which number(s) listed makes the inequality true?

Question

A. -3.14
B. -2.101101110...
C. -10.1010
D. -sqrt(7)
E. -75/22

Answer 1

To determine which numbers make the inequality x < -3 true, we need to compare the given numbers to -3 and see if they are less than -3.

A. -3.14 is less than -3. This number makes the inequality true.
B. -2.101101110... is greater than -3. This number does not make the inequality true.
C. -10.1010 is less than -3. This number makes the inequality true.
D. -√7 is greater than -3. This number does not make the inequality true.
E. -75/22 is less than -3. This number makes the inequality true.

So, the numbers that make the inequality x < -3 true are:

A. -3.14
C. -10.1010
E. -75/22
