To solve the equation [2x+1]=10, we need to consider two cases: when 2x+1 is positive and when it is negative.
Case 1: 2x+1 is positive When 2x+1 is positive, the equation becomes 2x+1=10. Solving for x, we have: 2x+1=10 2x=9 x=9/2
Case 2: 2x+1 is negative When 2x+1 is negative, the equation becomes -(2x+1)=10. Solving for x, we have: -(2x+1)=10 -2x-1=10 -2x=11 x=-11/2
Therefore, the solution set of the equation [2x+1]=10 is x in the interval (-infinity, -11/2] union [9/2, infinity). The answer is D) (-infinity, 9/2] union (5, infinity).
