What are the solutions to the inequality |x| < 4 ?

-4 < x < 4 (x must be between these numbers)

100
What is the slope of y-intercept of the following linear inequality:


y + 5 < -x

Slope is -1, y-intercept is -5

100
What are the solutions to the inequality (x - 2)(x + 3) > 0

x < -3 or x > 2 

100

Is (1,3) one solution to the linear inequality y > 2x + 1

No. The point is on the line, but needs to be greater or somewhere above it to be a solution. For example, (1, 4 would be a solution)

Which of these tv shows have I never watched before

a) the office
b) breaking bad
c) game of thrones
d) stranger things

c) game of thrones

200

What are the solutions to the inequality |x - 2| ≥ 5

x ≥ 7 or x ≤ -3

200
Sketch a graph of the linear inequality y > x + 4
Graph is a DASHED line passing through y-intercept (0, 4) and another correct point, most likely (1, 5), and the shaded area is above the dashed line
200

What are the solutions to the inequality x2 - 6x + 5 < 0 

By factoring, you find that this equals 0 when x = 5 and x = 1. The inequality is true (less than 0) between these, so

1 < x < 5

200

Is x = -4 a solution to the inequality |x - 2| > 5

Yes, -4 - 2 = -6 and its absolute value is 6, which is greater than 5.

By the way, all solutions to this inequality would be x < -3 or x > 7

What is my natural hair color?

Brown (I don't dye my hair)

300

What are the solutions to the inequality |4x| > -2

All real numbers, the absolute value of anything is always positive

300

Sketch a graph of this system of linear inequalities

y < 3x - 1

y > -2x + 2

DASHED lines, first line crosses through (0, -1) and (1, 2). Second line crosses through (0, 2) and (1, 0). The right side of the graph should be shaded!


Not needed, but these lines intersect at (0.6, 0.8)

300

What are the solutions to the inequality x(x - 1)(x - 3) ≥ 0

0 ≤ x ≤ 1, and x ≥ 3

300

Would (-1, 3) be a solution to the inequality y ≥ x2 + x + 3

Yes, 3 ≥ (-1)2 + -1 + 3 = 1 + -1 + 3 = 3

300

What are the only three cities/towns of Harford County (the rest are technically unincorporated places, such as forest hill)

Bel air (town), Aberdeen (city), Havre de Grace (city)

400

What are the solutions to the inequality |3x + 6| < 9

-5 < x < 1 (x must be between these numbers)

400

Graph this system of linear inequalities:


5x + y ≥ 3

y - 4 ≥ -6x

SOLID lines. First line contains a y-intercept of (0, 3) and passes through (1, -2)

Second line contains a y-intercept of (0, 4) and also passes through (1, -2)

Right side of the graph is shaded

400

What are the solutions to the inequality

3x2 + 2x - 10 ≥ 0

Solve using quadratic formula to find that it equals 0 when x = 1.52 and x = -2.19

The inequality is true when x > 1.52 or x < -2.19

400

Would (5, 0) be a solution to the following system of linear inequalities

x + 10y > 4

y > 2x 

No, the first equation works because 5 + 10(0) = 5 which is greater than 4, however for the second,

0 > 2(5) = 10 is not true

400

Which of these retail stores did I work at during part of my time in college?

a) Five below
b) Marshall's
c) Gamestop
d) Verizon

a) Five below

500

What are the solutions to the inequality |-2x - 4| ≤ 8

-6 ≤ x ≤ 2 (x must be equal to or between these numbers) 

500

Graph the following system of linear inequalities:

3x + 2y < 6

-2x - y ≤ 4

First line is DASHED, has a y-intercept of (0, 3) and a slope of -1.5 or -3/2

Second line is SOLID, has a y-intercept of (0, -4) and a slope of -2

Shade the bottom right between the two lines

500

What are the solutions to the inequality (x + 1)2(x - 2)2 > 0

Quartic equation with a double root at -1 and a double root at 2. 

Inequality is only not true at these two values. So, if

x < -1, -1 < x < 2, or x > 2, then it is true

500

Would the point (0, -2) be a solution to the following system of linear inequalities

y > -3x - 5

2x - 3y > 0

Yes, -2 > -3(0) - 5 = -5

AND

2(0) - 3(-2) = 6 > 0
