Question

Which expression has a value of less than 2 when x=5? select all that apply.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine which expressions have a value of less than 2 when \(x = 5\), we can evaluate each expression with this value of \(x\):

1. \(x^2 + 1\) when \(x = 5\):

\(5^2 + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26\)

This expression is not less than 2.

2. \(3x - 1\) when \(x = 5\):

\(3 \cdot 5 - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14\)

This expression is not less than 2.

3. \(2x + 3\) when \(x = 5\):

\(2 \cdot 5 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13\)

This expression is not less than 2.

4. \(x/4\) when \(x = 5\):

\(5/4 = 1.25\)

This expression is not less than 2.

None of the provided expressions have a value of less than 2 when \(x = 5\).
