Question

For what values of p is the value of the binomial 1.5p−1 smaller than the value of the binomial 1+1.1p?

Answer 1

p < 5

Explanation:

We want to find p for ...

1.5p -1 < 1 +1.1p

0.4p < 2 . . . . add 1-1.1p

p < 5 . . . . . . . multiply by 2.5

The desired relationship will be the case for values of p less than 5.
