Question:

In later courses in mathematics, it is sometimes necessary to find an interval in which x must lie in order to keep y within a given difference of some number. For example, supposeimageand we want y to be within 0.01 unit of 4. This criterion can be written asimage


Solving this inequality shows that x must lie in the interval (1.495, 1.505) to satisfy the requirement. Find the open interval in which x must lie in order for the given condition to hold.


y = 5x + 12, and the difference of y and 4 is less than 0.0001.
