Solve each of the following in equations and represent the solution set on the number line.
.
Given:
Signs of x – 3
x – 3 = 0 → x = 0 (Adding both the sides by 3)
x – 3 < 0 → x < 3 (Adding both the sides by 3)
x – 3 > 0 → x > 3 (Adding both the sides by 3)
Signs of x + 1
x + 1 = 0 → x = -1 (Subtracting both the sides by 1)
x + 1 < 0 → x < -1 (Subtracting both the sides by 1)
x + 1 > 0 → x > -1 (Subtracting both the sides by 1)
is not defined when x = -1
The interval that satisfies the condition that is -1 < x < 3
Therefore,
x ϵ (-1, 3)
