The video tutorial guides students through solving the inequality |x - 2| < 5 using a graph. It explains how to interpret the graph, clarifies why the number 5 refers to the y-axis, and demonstrates how to use previous parts of the problem to find the solution. The tutorial emphasizes visual representation and discusses different notations for expressing the solution.

What is the main purpose of using a graph in solving the inequality x - 2 < 5?

• To find the exact value of x

• To make the problem more complex

• To visually identify the solution range

• To avoid algebraic calculations

When interpreting the graph, what does the value 5 represent?

• The slope of the graph

• A point on the y-axis

• A point on the x-axis

• The intersection point

How does the solution to part A and B help in solving part C?

• They offer a foundation to build upon

• They are unrelated to part C

• They simplify the graph

• They provide the exact solution

What does the word 'hence' imply in the context of solving the inequality?

• You should start from scratch

• You can choose any method

• You must use previous results

• You can ignore previous parts

What is the solution to the inequality x - 2 < 5 in interval notation?

• (-3, 7]

• [3, 7]

• (-3, 7)

• [3, 7)

Why are the boundaries -3 and 7 not included in the solution interval?

• They are not part of the graph

• They do not satisfy the inequality

• They are outside the range

• They are arbitrary values

What is the advantage of using graphing to solve inequalities?

• It provides a visual representation

• It gives exact solutions

• It eliminates the need for calculations

• It is faster than algebraic methods

How can you verify if a boundary value satisfies the inequality?

• By checking if it lies on the graph

• By substituting it into the inequality

• By comparing it to other values

• By using a calculator

What does the interval notation (-3, 7) indicate about the values of x?

• x is greater than 7

• x is between -3 and 7, excluding -3 and 7

• x is less than -3

• x is exactly -3 or 7

What is the significance of using round brackets in interval notation?

• They are interchangeable with square brackets

• They are used for decoration

• They indicate exclusion of boundaries

• They indicate inclusion of boundaries
