Problem 56

Solve compound inequality. \(3 \leq 4 x-3<19\)

Problem 57

The mathematician Girolamo Cardano is credited with the first use (in 1545 ) of negative square roots in solving the now-famous problem, "Find two numbers whose sum is 10 and whose product is \(40 .^{\prime \prime}\) Show that the complex numbers \(5+i \sqrt{15}\) and \(5-i \sqrt{15}\) satisfy the conditions of the problem. (Cardano did not use the symbolism \(i \sqrt{15}\) or even \(\sqrt{-15} .\) He wrote \(\mathrm{Rm} 15\) for \(\sqrt{-15},\) meaning "radix minus 15." He regarded the numbers \(5+\) R.m 15 and \(5-\) R.m 15 as "fictitious" or "ghost numbers," and considered the problem "manifestly impossible." But in a mathematically adventurous spirit, he exclaimed, "Nevertheless, we will operate."
