How many integers satisfy the inequality \((x+3)^{2}\leq1\)?
thanks in advance
If (x + 3)2 ≤ 1 then the absolute value of x + 3 must be less than 1
| x + 3 | ≤ 1
Then in order for that to be true, it must be that
-1 ≤ x + 3 ≤ 1
Subtract 3 from all parts of the inequality.
-4 ≤ x ≤ -2
Then the integer solutions to that inequality are clearly
x = -4, x = -3, x = -2
