Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve for x
x∈(−∞,−611)∪(611,+∞)
Evaluate
2x6>22
Move the expression to the left side
2x6−22>0
Rewrite the expression
2x6−22=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x6=0+22
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x6=22
Divide both sides
22x6=222
Divide the numbers
x6=222

x6=11
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±611
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=611x=−611
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<−611−611<x<611x>611
Choose a value form each interval
x1=−2x2=0x3=2
To determine if x<−611 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value x=−2 satisfies the initial inequality
