Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve for y
y∈(−∞,−47)∪(47,+∞)
Evaluate
y4>7
Move the expression to the left side
y4−7>0
Rewrite the expression
y4−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
y4=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
y4=7
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
y=±47
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
y=47y=−47
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
y<−47−47<y<47y>47
Choose a value form each interval
y1=−3y2=0y3=3
To determine if y<−47 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value y=−3 satisfies the initial inequality
