Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve for c
−85285<c<85285
Alternative Form

Evaluate
c×c×85
Multiply the terms
c2×85
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
85c2
85c2<4
Move the expression to the left side
85c2−4<0
Rewrite the expression
85c2−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
85c2=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
85c2=4
Divide both sides
8585c2=854
Divide the numbers
c2=854
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
c=±854
