Declan says that for any number n, the product 4x n is greater than 4. Which value of n shows why Declan is incorrect

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]n > 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Statement: 4x n is greater than 4

Required

Value of n

First we need to rewrite the statement in algebraic form;

Product 4 * n is represented by 4n

greater than 4 is represented by > 4

Bringing these two together, it gives the following

[tex]4n > 4[/tex]

Divide through by 4

[tex]\frac{4n}{4} > \frac{4}{4}[/tex]

[tex]n > 1[/tex]

We've arrive at solution;

This means that n is greater than 1

So, the values of n must start from 2 to show that the condition is true

The value of n = 7/8 makes the inequality 4n > 4 false because 7/8 is less than 1.

What is inequality?

It is defined as the expression in mathematics in which both sides are not equal they have mathematical signs either less than or greater than, known as inequality.

We have n as a number.

4n > 4

Plug n = 5

20 > 4 (true)

Plug n = 9/5

36/4 > 4

9 > 4 (true)

Plug n = 3

12 > 4 (true)

Plug n = 7/8

28/8 > 4

3.5 > 4  (false)

Thus, the value of n = 7/8 makes the inequality 4n > 4 false because 7/8 is less than 1.
