Problem

Solve the following inequality and check for extraneous solutions. \[ \sqrt{5 x-4}<3 x-7 \] Choose the appropriate answer and fill in the values. Round your answer to three decimal places. $x<$ $x>$ $

Solution

Step 1 :Start by squaring both sides of the inequality to eliminate the square root. Be cautious as this can sometimes introduce extraneous solutions.

Step 2 :Simplify the equation and solve for x.

Step 3 :The solutions obtained are \(x = \frac{47}{18} - \frac{\sqrt{301}}{18}\) and \(x = \frac{\sqrt{301}}{18} + \frac{47}{18}\).

Step 4 :Check for extraneous solutions by substituting the solutions back into the original inequality.

Step 5 :Neither of the solutions are valid when substituted back into the original inequality.

Step 6 :\(\boxed{\text{The inequality } \sqrt{5 x-4}<3 x-7 \text{ has no solution.}}\)
