Math · Algebra · Hard · Answer it here, explanation included.

For which of the following tables are all the values of and their corresponding values of solutions to the given inequality?

ExplanationShow

Choice D is correct. All the tables in the choices have the same three values of , so each of the three values of can be substituted in the given inequality to compare the corresponding values of in each of the tables. Substituting for in the given inequality yields , or . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of is greater than . Substituting for in the given inequality yields , or . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of is greater than . Substituting for in the given inequality yields , or . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of is greater than . For the table in choice D, when , the corresponding value of is , which is greater than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is greater than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is greater than . Therefore, the table in choice D gives values of and their corresponding values of that are all solutions to the given inequality.

Choice A is incorrect. In the table for choice A, when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than .

Choice B is incorrect. In the table for choice B, when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than .

Choice C is incorrect. In the table for choice C, when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not greater than .
