Find all 𝑥 ∈ ℝ That satisfy the following inequalities :


a. |4𝑥 − 5| ≤ 13 b. |𝑥 2 − 1| ≤ 3

Answer :

a. We have that :
9
|4𝑥 − 5| ≤ 13 ⟺ −13 ≤ 4𝑥 − 5 ≤ 13 ⟺ −8 ≤ 4x ≤ 18 ⟺ −2 ≤ x ≤ ,
2
9
Hence , the subset of ℝ for which the inequality |4𝑥 − 5| ≤ 13 is true is [−2 , 2].

b. We have that :
|𝑥 2 − 1| ≤ 3 ⟺ −3 ≤ 𝑥 2 − 1 ≤ 3
⟺ −2 ≤ 𝑥 2 ≤ 4
⟺ 0 ≤ 𝑥2 ≤ 4

⟺ √0 ≤ √𝑥 2 ≤ √4
⟺ 0 ≤ |x| ≤ 2
⟺ |x| ≤ 2 ⟺ −2 ≤ x ≤ 2
Hence, the subset of ℝ for which the inequality . |𝑥 2 − 1| ≤ 3 is true is [−2 , 2].
