Question

The value of x is -1/4. Order these expressions from least to greatest:

x, -1 divided by x, 1-x, x-1

Answer 1

Explanation:

There two solutions. X can be zero cause anything divided by zero is undefined.

When dealing with positive numbers:

`least \: to \: greatest \: for \: \: x \geqslant 1`

`- (1)/(x) < \: \: 1 - x \: < \: \: x - 1 \: \: < x`

When dealing with negative numbers:

`least \: to \: greatest \: for \: \: x < 0`

`- x \: < x - 1 \: < - (1)/(x) \: < 1 - x`
