Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve for r
r≥−35540
Alternative Form
r∈[−35540,+∞)
Evaluate
r5×9≥−20
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
9r5≥−20
Move the expression to the left side
9r5−(−20)≥0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
9r5+20≥0
Rewrite the expression
9r5+20=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
9r5=0−20
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
9r5=−20
Divide both sides
99r5=9−20
Divide the numbers
r5=9−20
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
r5=−920
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5r5=5−920

Check the inequality
true
r<−35540 is not a solutionr>−35540 is the solution
The original inequality is a nonstrict inequality,so include the critical value in the solution
r≥−35540 is the solution
Solution
r≥−35540
