Q. Is v=−4 a solution to the inequality below?v≥−12Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Given value check: We are given v=−4. We need to check if this value satisfies the inequality v≥−12.Plug in the value for v in v≥−12.v≥−12Replace v with −4.−4≥−12
Verify inequality with value: Determine if the inequality holds true with v=−4. Comparing the values, −4 is greater than −12. Therefore, −4≥−12 is a true statement.
Conclusion and correct choice: Since the inequality is true when v=−4, we can conclude that v=−4 is indeed a solution to the inequality v≥−12. Choose the equivalent option that says v=−4 is a solution to the inequality v≥−12. The correct choice is (A) yes.
