Question

Which of the following points is a solution of y > |x| + 5?

(0, 5)
(1, 7)
(7, 1)

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{(1,\ 7)}`

Explanation:

`|a|=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\\\\|a|=-a\ \text{for}\ a<0\\\\\text{Examples}\\\\|3|=3,\ |1.6|=1.6\\|-3|=-(-3)=3,\ |-1.6|=1.6\\===================`

`y>|x|+5\\\\\text{Put the values of x and y from the coordinates of the points and check inequality}\\\\(0,\ 5)\to x=0,\ y=5\\5>|0|+5=0+5=5\qquad\text{FALSE\ :(}\\\\(1,\ 7)\to x=1,\ y=7\\7>|1|+5=1+5=6\qquad\text{CORRECT\ :)}\\\\(7,\ 1)\to x=7,\ y=1\\1>|7|+5=7+5=12\qquad\text{FALSE :(}`
