C and D are solutions


a \\ \\ {5}^(2) > 16 \\ \\ b \\ \\ 16 = 16 \\ \\ \\ c \\ \\ \\ {3}^(2) < 16 \\ \\ { - 1}^(2) < 16

To find the values that satisfy the inequality x² < 16, we need to determine which numbers, when squared, are less than 16.

Checking the given options:
A. 5² = 25, which is not less than 16.
B. 4² = 16, which is not less than 16 (it is equal).
C. 3² = 9, which is less than 16.
D. (-1)² = 1, which is less than 16.

Based on this analysis, options C (3) and D (-1) are the values that satisfy the inequality x² < 16.
