Answer:
-11 < x < 7
(first option listed)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that x² + 4x < 77
first, we should rewrite our expression in standard
x² + 4x - 77 < 0
factor {find two numbers that multiply to c (77) and add to b (4) }
(x - 7) (x + 11) < 0
set both roots to 0:
x - 7 < 0
+ 7 + 7
x < 7
x + 11 < 0
x > -11
so, x will be < 7 and > -11
which can be expressed as
-11 < x < 7
So, -11 < x < 7
