IGCSE Maths doubt(paper 4)
« on: October 30, 2009, 07:31:53 am »
ok guys, here i come with yet another unusual question.... ;D ;D
seriously i haven't seen this anywhere else :o :o
(x:15-2x?7)?(x:5x-2>10-x)


i though maybe ":" sign implies ratio which is actually division
so by taking division(ex, x/(15-2x) i tried to solve it...but this is where i could reach ann dunno how to go about it now :-[ :-[
(x?7)?(5x²-47x+20>0)

PLEASE HELP GUYS!!!!!!

lke the intersection character and the greater than or equal to character
anyways i'll tell u now:

ok..heres it..

that ":" means "such that"...its dere in the book..read it.


k..so..
solve the inequalitites in both the sides to get

(15-2x>=7) n (5x-2>10-x)

solve them

(x<= 4) n (x>2)

now the left hand side values can be... 4,3,2,1,0 and so on

right hand side.. 3, 4, 5 and so on

the intersection is (3,4)

dude it means x is a set such that 15-x>7
and another set is such that x 5x-2>10-x

hope you get it!!

ohhhh!!!!
oh yeah i get it now
but i didnt take it as "such as"
because the whole thing was written inside the brackets....so thought maybe its part of the inequality
dude...they gotta make this thing clear in the question!!!

solve both the inequalities separately...

                     15 - 2x >= 7                              5x-2 > 10 - x
                     15 >= 7 +2x                               6x -2 >10
                     8 >= 2x                                     6x >12
                     4 >= x                                       x > 2

now put these inequalities together

                  4  >=  x   >  2

this is the answer.

ryt, the intersection can be anything between  4 >= x > 2
it can be 3.2 also,  it is not mention whether the numbers is a whole numbers ???

i don't i think the answer should be written in this way...


abbey DAd ka B'Day tha...
