Linear Programming Question 127

Question: The solution set of $ \frac{5x+8}{4-x}\le 2 $ is

Options:

A) $ (4,\infty )\cup ( -\infty ,0 ] $

B) $ [4,\infty ]\cup ( -\infty ,4 ] $

C) $ ( -\infty ,0 ]\cup (4,\infty ) $

D) $ [4,\infty ]\cup ( -\infty ,0 ] $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \frac{5x+8}{4-x}\le 2\Rightarrow \frac{5x+8}{4-x}-2\le 0 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{5x+8-8+2x}{4-x}\le 0 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{7x}{4-x}\le 0\Rightarrow \frac{x-0}{x-4}\ge 0 $

Dividing by -7

$ \Rightarrow (-\infty ,0]\cup (4,\infty ) $
