Amy solved the exponential inequality
4 Superscript 2 x minus 2 Baseline greater-than-or-equal-to 2
by first rewriting the inequality as
4 Superscript 2 x minus 2 Baseline minus 2 greater-than-or-equal-to y
and then graphing this inequality. She determines the solution set of the inequality is (infinity, 1.25 right-brace.
Which best describes Amy’s solution?
-Amy is correct. The interval (negative infinity, 1.25 right-brace is the solution set for the inequality.
-Amy did not break the inequality into two related inequalities. Her solution set only relates to one inequality.
-Amy used the incorrect inequality symbol. The solution set should be [1.25, ∞).
-Amy used the wrong variable when writing the solution. The solution set should relate to y and not x.
