Chapter 3: Q. 13 (page 171)

In problems 7-22, solve the inequality.
$x^{2} + x > 12$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution set is $(- 鈭�, - 4) o r (3, 鈭�)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

The given inequality is $x^{2} + x > 12$ .

Step 2. Find the intercepts and vertex

Rewrite the given inequality.

$x^{2} + x - 12 > 0$

The value of $f (0) = - 12$ .
So, the y-intercept is $(0, - 12)$ .
Factor the equation.

role="math" localid="1646467056241" $\begin{array}{rcl} x^{2} + x - 12 & = & 0 \\ x^{2} + 4 x - 3 x - 12 & = & 0 \\ x (x + 4) - 3 (x + 4) & = & 0 \\ (x - 3) (x + 4) & = & 0 \end{array}$

Equate the factors to 0.

$\begin{array}{rcl} x - 3 & = & 0 \\ x & = & 3 \\ x + 4 & = & 0 \\ x & = & - 4 \end{array}$

So, the x-intercepts are $(3, 0), (- 4, 0)$ .
The vertex of the parabola exists at $\frac{- b}{2 a} = \frac{- 1}{2 (1)} = \frac{- 1}{2}$ .
Find the value of the function at $x = - \frac{1}{2}$ .

$\begin{array}{rcl} f (- \frac{1}{2}) & = & {(- \frac{1}{2})}^{2} + (- \frac{1}{2}) - 12 \\ = & \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} - 12 \\ = & \frac{1 - 2 - 48}{4} \\ = & \frac{- 49}{4} \end{array}$

So, the vertex is $(- \frac{1}{2}, \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{- 49}{4} \end{array})$ .

Step 3. Plot the graph

Plot the parabola on a graph using the vertex and intercepts calculated in the previous step.

Step 4. Find the solution set

From the graph, it is observed that for x belonging to $(- 鈭�, - 4) o r (3, 鈭�)$ , $y > 0$ .
So, the solution set of the given inequality is $(- 鈭�, - 4) o r (3, 鈭�)$ .
