Given the inequality: 16x2<47 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: 16x2=47 Solve: Move right part of the equation to left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from 16x2=47 to 16x2−47=0 This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: x1=2aD−b x2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=16 b=0 c=−47 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(0)^2 - 4 * (16) * (-47) = 3008
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=447 x2=−447 x1=447 x2=−447 x1=447 x2=−447 This roots x2=−447 x1=447 is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression. First define with the sign to the leftmost point: x0<x2 For example, let's take the point x0=x2−101 = −447−101 = −447−101 substitute to the expression 16x2<47 16(−447−101)2<47
