Solve the given inequality algebraically.

x+1x-1>0

Short Answer

Expert verified

Required solution set is(-∞,-1)∪(1,∞)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information 

The given inequality is :

x+1x-1>0

We have to solve for x.

02

Step 2. Finding zeroes 

Zeroes of the inequality f(x)=x+1x-1>0are

x+1x-1=0

f(x)is undefined for x=1

Thereforex=-1

03

Step 3. Dividing real number line into 3 intervals 

Now we use the zeroes to separate the real number line into intervals(-∞,-1),(-1,1),(1,∞)

04

Step 4. Selecting a test number in each interval  

Now we select a test number in each interval found in Step 3 and evaluate at each number to determine if

f(x)=x+1x-1=0is positive or negative

In the interval (-∞,-1), we chose -2 where f is positive

In the interval (-1,1), we chose 0 where f is negative

In the interval (1,∞), we chose 2 where f is positive

We know that our required inequality is f(x)>0

Here the inequality is not strict (≥or≤)so we have to exclude the solutions of f(x)=0in the solution set.

So we want the interval where f is positive.

So required solution set is(-∞,-1)∪(1,∞)
