Q. Solve for

s

.

\newline

-9-7s \leq -8s-8

\newline

Write your answer with

s

first, followed by an inequality symbol.

Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side. $\newline$ $-9 - 7s \leq -8s - 8$ $\newline$ $-9 + 8 \leq -8s + 7s$ $\newline$ $-1 \leq -s$
Divide and reverse inequality: Divide both sides by $-1$ and reverse the inequality sign. $\newline$ $-1/-1 \geq -s/-1$ $\newline$ $1 \geq s$

Question

g(x)=5-e^{x}

\newline

Below is Sean's attempt to write a formal justification for the fact that the equation

g(x)=0

has a solution where

1 \leq x \leq 4

\newline

Is Sean's justification complete? If not, why?

\newline

Sean's justification:

\newline

g
