Given the inequality:
x−42≥0To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
x−42=0Solve:
Given the linear equation:
x-42 = 0
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
x=42x1=42x1=42This roots
x1=42is 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=
−101+42=
10419substitute to the expression
x−42≥0−42+10419≥0-1/10 >= 0
but
-1/10 < 0
Then
x≤42no execute
the solution of our inequality is:
x≥42 _____
