Q. Solve for t.∣4t∣≥4Write 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 4: We are given the inequality ∣4t∣≥4 and we need to solve for t. First, we divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to isolate the absolute value of t. ∣4t∣≥4∣4t∣/4≥4/4∣t∣≥1
Consider Two Cases: Now we have ∣t∣≥1. The absolute value inequality ∣t∣≥1 means that t is at a distance of at least 1 from 0 on the number line.This gives us two cases to consider:1. t≥1 (when t is positive or zero)2. t≤−1 (when t is negative)
Write Compound Inequality: We can now write the compound inequality that represents the solution to the original inequality ∣4t∣≥4. The compound inequality is t≥1 or t≤−1.
