Solve each inequality algebraically.

x-1x+2≥-2

Short Answer

Expert verified

Solution set and the interval is:
{x|x<-2or1≤x≤∞}(-∞,-2)∪[1,∞)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Change the inequality to equal to zero. 

Change the inequality equal to zero to make it easier and then get the value of x
First arrange the inequality,

x−1x+2≥−2x−1x+2+2≥0x−1x+2+2⋅x+2x+2≥0x−1+2x+4x+2≥03x−3x+2≥0

Make it equal to zero.

3x−3x+2 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=0(3x−3)(x+2) â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=03x−3 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=0;x+2 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=03x â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=3;x â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=−2x â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=33x â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…=1

02

Step 2. Form the intervals

From the obtained values of x, we can form the interval,

So the interval we have is:

(-∞,-2)∪(-2,1)∪(1,∞)

03

Step 3. Form the table

Since, f(x)≥0, so is positive or zero.

check a number in each interval and evaluate the function to see whether it is satisfying the function.

IntervalNumber chosenResultant
(-∞,-2)
-312≥0
(-2,1)
0-32≥0
(1,∞)
234≥0
04

Step 4. Solution set and interval

Since, 12≥0,34≥0satisfy f. Thus,
