9. 4- 2(8) = -12

we know that

The easiest way to find the number that makes the statement true is to substitute the given answers into the equation.

so

Part 1)


4.3-2x < x^(2) -2

a) For
x=0


4.3-2*0 < 0^(2) -2


12 < -2 -----> is false

b) For
x=1


4.3-2*1 < 1^(2) -2


10 < -1 -----> is false

c) For
x=2


4.3-2*2 < 2^(2) -2


8 < 2 -----> is false

d) For
x=3


4.3-2*3 < 3^(2) -2


6 < 7 -----> is true

therefore

the answer part 1) is the option D


x=3

Part 2)


6*7-5x+x^(2) \geq x^(3) +x^(2)

a) For
x=5


6*7-5*5+5^(2) \geq 5^(3) +5^(2)


42 \geq 150 ----> is false

b) For
x=6


6*7-5*6+6^(2) \geq 6^(3) +6^(2)


48 \geq 252 ----> is false

c) For
x=4


6*7-5*4+4^(2) \geq 4^(3) +4^(2)


38 \geq 80 ----> is false

d) For
x=3


6*7-5*3+3^(2) \geq 3^(3) +3^(2)


36 \geq 36 ----> is True

therefore

the answer Part 2) is the option D


x=3

Part 3)

we have


8*3-4x\ (\ )\ 7*(10-x)

For
x=3


8*3-4*3\ (\ )\ 7*(10-3)


12\ (\ )\ 49

we know that


12 < 49

therefore

the answer Part 3) is the option B


<

Part 4)

we have


9*4-2x\ (\ )\ 5*(11-x)

For
x=8


9*4-2*8\ (\ )\ 5*(11-8)


20\ (\ )\ 15

we know that


20 > 15

therefore

the answer Part 4) is the option B
