Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for b
b>1
Alternative Form
b∈(1,+∞)
Evaluate
−13<b3−14
Move the expression to the left side
−13−(b3−14)<0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−13−(b3−14)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−13−b3+14
Add the numbers
1−b3
1−b3<0
Rewrite the expression
1−b3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−b3=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−b3=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
b3=1
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3b3=31
Calculate
b=31
Simplify the root
b=1
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
b<1b>1
Choose a value form each interval
b1=0b2=2
To determine if b<1 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value b=0 satisfies the initial inequality
