1. The problem states the inequality $1 < b$ and provides several values for $b$: 9, 5, 2, and 11. 2. We need to determine which of these values satisfy the inequality $1 < b$. 3. The inequality $1 < b$ means $b$ must be greater than 1. 4. Check each value: - For $b = 9$, since $9 > 1$, it satisfies the inequality. - For $b = 5$, since $5 > 1$, it satisfies the inequality. - For $b = 2$, since $2 > 1$, it satisfies the inequality. - For $b = 11$, since $11 > 1$, it satisfies the inequality. 5. Therefore, all given values $b = 9, 5, 2, 11$ satisfy the inequality $1 < b$. Final answer: All values satisfy the inequality $1 < b$.
