Q. Determine the smallest integer value of x in the solution of the following inequality.4x−1>−12Answer: x=
Identify Inequality: Identify the inequality to solve.We are given the inequality 4x−1>−12.
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term by adding 1 to both sides of the inequality.4x−1+1>−12+1This simplifies to:4x>−11
Divide by 4: Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to solve for x.44x>4−11This simplifies to:x>4−11
Convert to Decimal: Convert the fraction to a decimal to better understand the inequality.−411 is the same as −2.75.So, x>−2.75
Find Integer Value: Determine the smallest integer value of x that is greater than −2.75. Since −2 is the next integer greater than −2.75, the smallest integer value of x that satisfies the inequality is −2.
