How do you solve and graph # t + 9 < 8#?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

#t<1#

#t+9<8#

Subtract #9# from both sides,

#t<1#

Since #t<1#, graph{x<1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

To solve and graph the inequality t + 9 < 8:

Subtract 9 from both sides: t < -1
Graph the solution on a number line with an open circle at -1, indicating that -1 is not included in the solution.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is all real numbers less than -1, represented graphically by an open circle at -1 on a number line extending to the left.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
