Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for v
v<−1
Alternative Form
v∈(−∞,−1)
Evaluate
v5<−1
Move the expression to the left side
v5−(−1)<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
v5+1<0
Rewrite the expression
v5+1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
v5=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
v5=−1
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5v5=5−1
Calculate
v=5−1
Simplify the root
