Solve for r.8|r| > 16Write a compound inequality like 1 < x < 3 or like x < 1 or x > 3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.______
Q. Solve for r.8∣r∣>16Write a compound inequality like 1<x<3 or like x<1 or x>3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.______
Divide by 8: We have the inequality:8|r| > 16First, we divide both sides of the inequality by 8 to isolate ∣r∣.\frac{8|r|}{8} > \frac{16}{8}|r| > 2
Interpret absolute value: Now we interpret the absolute value inequality |r| > 2.This means r is either greater than 2 or less than −2.So we can write two separate inequalities:r > 2 or r < -2
Express as compound inequality: We now express the solution as a compound inequality. The compound inequality is: r < -2 or r > 2
