WeBWorK assignment number Tarea1 is due : 08/25/2012 at 11:59pm EDT.

The
(* replace with url for the course home page *)
for the course contains the syllabus, grading policy and other information.
This file is /conf/snippets/setHeader.pg you can use it as a model for creating files which introduce each problem set.
The primary purpose of WeBWorK is to let you know that you are getting the correct answer or to alert you if you are making
some kind of mistake. Usually you can attempt a problem as many times as you want before the due date. However, if you are
having trouble figuring out your error, you should consult the book, or ask a fellow student, one of the TAs or your professor for
help. Dont spend a lot of time guessing its not very efficient or effective.
Give 4 or 5 significant digits for (floating point) numerical answers. For most problems when entering numerical answers,
you can if you wish enter elementary expressions such as 2 3 instead of 8, sin(3 pi/2)instead of -1, e (ln(2)) instead of 2,
(2 + tan(3)) (4 sin(5)) 6 7/8 instead of 27620.3413, etc. Heres the list of the functions which WeBWorK understands.
You can use the Feedback button on each problem page to send e-mail to the professors.

11. (1 pt) The first few problems are exercises in solving inequalities and using interval notation, as described in sections
A1 and A6 of the textbook. For example, the set of inequalities
1 < x 3
describes the interval (1, 3] Enter that interval by typing a
round opening parenthesis, the number -1, the number 3, and
a square closing parenthesis in the following four answer fields:

In this problem, WeBWorK will tell for each answer individually if it is correct, so you can check what you are doing. In the
following problems you will need to get all answers right before
getting credit.

Consider the inequality : |x 7| > 30
The solution of this inequality consists of one or more of the
intervals (, A), (A, B) and (B, ) where A < B.
Find A
Find B
For each interval, answer YES or NO to whether the interval
is included in the solution.
(, A)
(A, B)
(B, )

10. (1 pt) Inequalities are solved like equations, by figuring

out what bothers us and getting rid of it by doing the same thing
on both sides of the inequality. The only difference is that when
multiplying with a negative factor we reverse the inequality.
Thus we replace < with >, with , etc.
The solutions of the inequality
5 2x
<7
3
satisfy
x
.
(Enter < or > and a rational number.)
Solution:
We proceed much like we would if this was an equality, except that we reverse the inequality when multiplying on both
sides with a negative number:
