Which of the following are correct? (Where RR is set of real numbers)

(A) If x≤8x \le 8, then −x≥−8-x \ge -8

(B) If x∈R,∣x∣≤3x \in R, |x| \le 3, then −3≤x≤3-3 \le x \le 3

(C) If x∈R,∣x∣<−4x \in R, |x|<-4, then x∈ϕx \in \phi

(D) x=∣x∣x=|x| iff x≥0x \ge 0

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

(A) Multiplying an inequality by −1-1 reverses it: correct.

(B) Standard modulus result ∣x∣≤a⇔−a≤x≤a|x|\le a \Leftrightarrow -a\le x\le a: correct.

(C) ∣x∣≥0|x| \ge 0 always, so ∣x∣<−4|x| < -4 has no solution: correct.

(D) ∣x∣=x|x| = x exactly when x≥0x \ge 0: correct.

All four statements hold.
