Answer:
[tex]a)x < - \frac{2}{5} [/tex]
[tex]b)4 < - 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]a)2x + \frac{1}{2} x + 2 < 1[/tex]
[tex] = 4x + x + 4 < 2[/tex]
[tex] = 5x + 4 < 2[/tex]
[tex] = 5x < 2 - 4[/tex]
[tex] = 5x < - 2[/tex]
[tex] = x < - \frac{2}{5} [/tex]
[tex] = x < - 0.4 \times ∈( - \infty . - \frac{2}{5} )[/tex]
[tex]b) \frac{1}{x} + 4 < \frac{1}{x} - 2[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{1}{x} + 4 < \frac{1}{x} - 2.x≠0[/tex]
[tex] = 4 < - 2[/tex]
= X ∈ ∅
