Linear Inequations – Exercise – 15.1 – Q.1

(ii) since x ϵ Z, x ϵ{…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

(iii) since x ϵ N, x ϵ {1, 2, 3, 4}

 

Linear Inequations – Exercise – 15.1 – Q.2

Now,  - 4x > 30

As x ϵ N, so x can not be less than 1.

∴ The solution set of the inequality - 4x > 30 is null set Φ.

 

Linear Inequations – Exercise – 15.1 – Q.3

Now, 4x – 2 < 8

⟹ 4x < 8 + 2

⟹ 4x < 10

Linear Inequations – Exercise – 15.1 – Q.4

3x -7 > x + 1

⟹ 3x – x > 1 + 7

⟹ 2 x > 8

⟹ x > 8/2 = 4

⟹ x > 4

∴ (4, ∞) is the solution set.

x + 5 > 4x - 10

⟹ x - 4x > - 10 - 5

⟹ - 3x > - 15

⟹ 3x < 15

⟹ x < 15/3 = 5

⟹ x < 5

∴ (-∞, 5) is the solution set
