Please help! Been stuck on this for hours Solve the inequality. Express your answer in interval form. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) 2 ≤ |x^2 − 4| < 4

  (-√8, -√6] ∪ [-√2, 0) ∪ (0, √2] ∪ [√6, √8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality resolves into 4 inequalities. There are 4 intervals in the solution.

Starting at the left, for the absolute value argument less than 0:

  2 ≤ -(x^2 -4) . . . . . . . for x^2 -4 ≤ 0

  2 ≤ -x^2 +4

  -2 ≤ -x^2

  2 ≥ x^2 . . . . . . . . . . consistent with the above 4 ≥ x^2

  -√2 ≤ x ≤ √2 . . . . . square root; may be limited by other constraints

For the absolute value argument greater than 0:

  2 ≤ x^2 -4 . . . . . . . for x^2 -4 ≥ 0

  6 ≤ x^2 . . . . . . . . . .consistent with x^2 ≥ 4

  -√6 ≥ x ∪ x ≤ √6 . . . . take the square root

__

The inequality on the right can be written as the compound inequality ...

  -4 < x^2 -4 < 4

  0 < x^2 < 8 . . . . . add 4

  0 < |x| < √8 . . . . take the square root

This resolves to ...

  -√8 < x < 0 ∪ 0 < x < √8

__

So, the solution set is the set of values of x that satisfy these restrictions on x:

  -√2 ≤ x ≤ √2

  x ≤ -√6 ∪ x ≤ √6

  -√8 < x < 0 ∪ 0 < x < √8

That is a collection of 4 intervals:

  (-√8, -√6] ∪ [-√2, 0) ∪ (0, √2] ∪ [√6, √8)

_____

You may be expected to write √8 as 2√2.

These intervals are the portions of the red curve that lie between the two horizontal lines. The points on the upper (dashed) line are not part of the solution set. The points on the lower (solid) line are part of the solution set.

answer: yard ramps with a level off platform are typically 36 feet long. truck, rather than at an angle, enabling access to those pallets at the very back of the truck. if you are using your yard ramp to convert a loading dock into a drive-in door, we even at 60 inches (5 feet) high and a 30 foot ramp, the slope of the ramp will be less
