A={x| x^2>9}, B={x| 1<x<16}, C={x| x^2<25}, what is the range of A∩B∩C?

A. |x|<4
B. 3<|x|<5
C. |x|<5
D. 1<|x|<4
E. 3<|x|<4

Please fix original post above. B should say 1<x^2<16, according to explanation above.

A={x| x^2>9}, B={x| 1<x^2<16}, C={x| x^2<25}, what is the range of A∩B∩C?

A. |x|<4
B. 3<|x|<5
C. |x|<5
D. 1<|x|<4
E. 3<|x|<4

Keeping two cases of x
1. X>0
we have A= x>3
B= 1<x<4
C= x<5
Putting on number line, we find 3<x<4

2. X<0
A= x<-3
B= -1>x>-4
C= x>-5

Putting all on a number line we can deduce -4<x<-3
so basically we can get 3<|x|<4

P.S. Putting every equation on a number line helps to solve the equation easily
