Question:
Solve: −4x > 30, when
(i) x ∈ R
(ii) x ∈ Z
(iii) x ∈ N
Solution:
$-4 x>30$
$\Rightarrow x<-\frac{30}{4}$ (Dividing both the sides by $-4$ )
$\Rightarrow x<-\frac{15}{2}$
(i) $x \in R$
Then, the solution of the given inequation is $\left(-\infty,-\frac{15}{2}\right)$.
(ii) $x \in Z$
Then, the solution of the given inequation is $\{\ldots \ldots \ldots-9,-8\}$.
(iii) $x \in N$
Then, the solution of the given inequation is $\phi$.
