Answer for screen readers

The solution to the inequality is: $$ (-\infty, -1) \cup (1, 4) $$

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the Inequalities We have four inequalities:
  • $x < -1$
  • $x < 4$
  • $x > 1$
  • $x > 1$ (duplicate)
  1. Determine the Overall Range To find the solution set, we analyze the individual inequalities:
  • From $x < -1$, we have one part of the solution where $x$ can take values less than -1.
  • From $x < 4$, we have values less than 4.
  • From $x > 1$, we have values greater than 1.
  1. Combine the Inequalities Now we combine these results. The intervals can be summarized as follows:
  • The solution for $x < -1$ is $(-\infty, -1)$.
  • The solution for $x > 1$ is $(1, \infty)$.
  1. Final Solution Thus, the overall solution to the given inequalities can be expressed as: $$ (-\infty, -1) \cup (1, 4) $$

These intervals reflect all possible $x$ that satisfy at least one of the given inequalities.

The solution to the inequality is: $$ (-\infty, -1) \cup (1, 4) $$

More Information

This solution shows all the values of $x$ that satisfy at least one of the inequalities. The interval notation means that $x$ can take any value less than -1 or between 1 and 4.

Tips

  • A common mistake is to incorrectly combine the inequalities, leading to an inaccurate range.
  • Not recognizing that $x > 1$ is relevant and should not simply be ignored.
