Question -

Solve: -4x > 30, when
(i) x ∈ R
(ii) x ∈ Z
(iii) x ∈ N



Answer -

Given:
-4x > 30
So when we divide by 4, we get
-4x/4 > 30/4
-x > 15/2
x < – 15/2
(i) x ∈ R
When x is a real number, the solution of the given inequation is (-∞, -15/2).
(ii) x ∈ Z
When, -8 < -15/2 < -7
So when, when x is an integer, the maximum possible value of x is -8.
The solution of the given inequation is {…, –11, –10, -9, -8}.
(iii) x ∈ N
As natural numbers start from 1 and can never be negative, when x is a natural number, the solution of the given inequation is ∅.
