Given the inequality:
9x<−2To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
9x=−2Solve:
Given the linear equation:
9*x = -2
Divide both parts of the equation by 9
x = -2 / (9)
x1=−92x1=−92This roots
x1=−92is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
x0<x1For example, let's take the point
x0=x1−101=
−92+−101=
−9029substitute to the expression
9x<−290(−29)9<−2-29
---- < -2
10
the solution of our inequality is:
x<−92 _____
