|-10+ex|<9

Write |-10+ex|<9 as a piecewise.

To find the interval for the first piece, find where the inside of the absolute value is non-negative.

-10+ex0

Solve the inequality.

xln(10)

In the piece where -10+ex is non-negative, remove the absolute value.

-10+ex<9

To find the interval for the second piece, find where the inside of the absolute value is negative.

-10+ex<0

Solve the inequality.

Add 10 to both sides of the inequality.

ex<10

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.

ln(ex)<ln(10)

Expand the left side.

x<ln(10)

In the piece where -10+ex is negative, remove the absolute value and multiply by -1.

-(-10+ex)<9

Write as a piecewise.

{-10+ex<9xln(10)-(-10+ex)<9x<ln(10) 

Simplify -(-10+ex)<9.

{-10+ex<9xln(10)10-ex<9x<ln(10) 

Solve -10+ex<9 when xln(10).

Solve -10+ex<9 for x.

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the inequality...

ex<19

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.

ln(ex)<ln(19)

Expand the left side.

x<ln(19)

Find the intersection of x<ln(19) and xln(10).

ln(10)x<ln(19)

Solve 10-ex<9 when x<ln(10).

Solve 10-ex<9 for x.

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the inequality.

-ex<-1

Divide each term in -ex<-1 by -1 and simplify.

ex>1

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.

ln(ex)>ln(1)

Expand the left side.

x>ln(1)

The natural logarithm of 1 is 0.

x>0

Find the intersection of x>0 and x<ln(10).

0<x<ln(10)

Find the union of the solutions.

0<x<ln(19)

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:

0<x<ln(19)

Interval Notation:

(0,ln(19))
