If y<0, find the range of all possible values of y such that yy=110. Express your answer using interval notation.

 

 

I got (10,11), but it’s wrong.

Any value of  y  in the interval  (10, 11)  will make the equation true, for example....

 

10.110.1=1110=110

 

But also, any value of  y  in the interval  (-11, -10)  will make the equation true, for example...

 

10.910.9=1011=110

 

Since the problem says  y < 0 ,  the only values of  y  that work are those in the interval  (-11, -10) .
