Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for x
−227<x<227
Alternative Form
x∈(−227,227)
Evaluate
4x2<36
Move the expression to the left side
4x2−36<0
Evaluate the power
4x2−729<0
Rewrite the expression
4x2−729=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x2=0+729
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x2=729
Divide both sides
44x2=4729
Divide the numbers
x2=4729
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±4729
