Practicing Success
The set of values of x satisfying the system of inequalities $5x + 2 < 3x+8$ and $\frac{x+2}{x-1}<4$ is |
(-∞, 1) (2, 3) (-∞, 3) (-∞, 1) ∪ (2, 3) |
(-∞, 1) ∪ (2, 3) |
We have, $5x + 2 < 3x+8$ and $\frac{x+2}{x-1}<4$ $⇒2x-6<0$ and $\frac{x+2}{x-1}-4<0$ $⇒2(x-3) <0$ and $\frac{-3x+6}{x-1}<0$ $⇒x-3<0$ and $\frac{x-2}{x-1}>0$ $⇒x∈ (-∞, 3)$ and $x ∈(-∞, 1) ∪ (2,∞)$ $⇒x∈(-∞, 1) ∪ (2, 3)$ |
