Q. Solve for p.∣p+1∣<9Write a compound inequality like 1<x<3 or like x<1 or x>3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.______
Given Inequality: We are given the inequality ∣p+1∣<9. We need to consider two cases for the absolute value: one where the expression inside the absolute value is positive, and one where it is negative.
Case 1: Non-negative Expression: First, let's consider the case where the expression inside the absolute value is non-negative, which means p+1 is already positive. We can remove the absolute value signs:p+1<9Now, we solve for p by subtracting 1 from both sides:p+1−1<9−1p<8
Case 2: Negative Expression: Next, we consider the case where the expression inside the absolute value is negative, which means we need to take the opposite of the expression inside to remove the absolute value signs:−(p+1)<9Now, we distribute the negative sign:−p−1<9We solve for p by adding 1 to both sides and then multiplying by −1 to get p alone:−p−1+1<9+1−p<10Multiplying by −1 (and remembering to reverse the inequality sign):p>−10
Combining Cases: Combining the two cases, we get a compound inequality:−10<p<8This means p is greater than −10 and less than 8.
