Answer explanation
Choice C is correct. All the tables in the choices have the same three values of , so each of the three values of can be substituted in the given inequality to compare the corresponding values of in each of the tables. Substituting for in the given inequality yields , or . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of is less than . Substituting for in the given inequality yields , or . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of is less than . Substituting for in the given inequality yields , or . Therefore, when , the corresponding value of is less than . For the table in choice C, when , the corresponding value of is , which is less than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is less than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is less than . Therefore, the table in choice C gives values of and their corresponding values of that are all solutions to the given inequality.
Choice A is incorrect. In the table for choice A, when , the corresponding value of is , which is not less than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not less than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not less than .
Choice B is incorrect. In the table for choice B, when , the corresponding value of is , which is not less than .
Choice D is incorrect. In the table for choice D, when , the corresponding value of is , which is not less than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not less than ; when , the corresponding value of is , which is not less than .
