Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve for x
x∈(−∞,−43)∪(43,+∞)
Evaluate
x4>3
When the expression in absolute value bars is not negative, remove the bars
x4>3
Move the expression to the left side
x4−3>0
Rewrite the expression
x4−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x4=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x4=3
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±43
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=43x=−43
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<−43−43<x<43x>43
Choose a value form each interval
x1=−2x2=0x3=2
To determine if x<−43 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value x=−2 satisfies the initial inequality
