Question:

Solve the following inequations $\frac{2x+4}{x-1}≥0$

Options:

(1, 3]

(1, 2)

[1, 2)

(2, 3]

Correct Answer:

(1, 3]

Explanation:

We have $\frac{2x+4}{x-1}≥0⇒\frac{2x+4}{x-1}-5≥0$

$⇒\frac{2x+4-5(x-1)}{x-1}≥0⇒\frac{2x+4-5x+5}{x-1}≥0$

$\frac{-3x+9}{x-1}≥0$ [Multiplying both sides by -1]

$\frac{3x-9}{x-1}≤0⇒\frac{3(x-3)}{x-1}≤0$  [Dividing both sides by 3]

$\frac{x-3}{x-1}≤0⇒1<x≤3⇒x∈(1,3]$
