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.\frac{4x}{4} > \frac{-11}{4}This simplifies to:x > \frac{-11}{4}
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.
