Solve each inequality algebraically.
$\frac{{(3 - x)}^{3} (2 x + 1)}{x^{3} - 1} < 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Solution to the inequality $\frac{{(3 - x)}^{3} (2 x + 1)}{x^{3} - 1} < 0$ is $(- \frac{1}{2}, 1) 鈭� (3, 鈭�)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

We have been given an inequality $\frac{{(3 - x)}^{3} (2 x + 1)}{x^{3} - 1} < 0$ .

We have to solve this inequality algebraically.

Step 2. Determine the real numbers at which the expression f equals zero and at which the expression f is undefined.

Assume $f (x) = \frac{{(3 - x)}^{3} (2 x + 1)}{x^{3} - 1}$ .

${(3 - x)}^{3} = 0 x = 3 2 x + 1 = 0 x = - \frac{1}{2} x^{3} - 1 = 0 x = 1$

Step 3. Form the intervals

Using the values of x found in previous step, we can divide the real numbers in the intervals:

$(- 鈭�, - \frac{1}{2}) 鈭� (- \frac{1}{2}, 1) 鈭� (1, 3) 鈭� (3, 鈭�)$

Step 4. Select a number in each interval and evaluate f at the number

Create the following table:

Interval	$(- 鈭�, - \frac{1}{2})$	$(- \frac{1}{2}, 1)$	$(1, 3)$	$(3, 鈭�)$
Number chosen	$- 1$	0	2	4
value of f	$f (- 1) = 32$	$f (0) = - 27$	$f (2) = \frac{5}{7}$	$f (4) = - \frac{1}{7}$
Conclusion	positive	negative	positive	nrgative

Step 5. Identify the interval

Since we want to know where f is negative, we conclude that $f (x) < 0$ in the interval $(- \frac{1}{2}, 1) 鈭� (3, 鈭�)$ .
