9. (i) We can draw infinite number of lines parallel to x-axis.

∴ The set is infinite.

(ii) There are 26 letters in the English alphabet.

∴ The set is finite.

(iii) There are infinite number which are a multiple of 5.

∴ The set is infinite

(iv) The numbers of animals living on earth are finite.

∴ The set i

(|x| - 3)|x + 4| = 6

Case (i) x < -4
(-x - 3) (- (x + 4) = 6
(x + 3) (x + 4) = 6 ⇒ x² + 7x + 12 = 6 ⇒ x² + 7x + 6 = 0
(x + 1) (x + 6) = 0 ⇒ x = -6 (since x < -4)

Case (ii) -4 ≤ x < 0
(-x - 3) (x + 4) = 6
⇒ -x² - 7x - 12 = 6
⇒ x² + 7x + 18 = 0
The discriminant is D = 7² - 4 (1) (18) = 49 - 72 < 0, so no real solution.

Case (iii) x ≥ 0
