Solve each inequality algebraically.
$x^{3} - x 鈮� 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Solution set and the interval is:
${x | - 1 鈮� x 鈮� 0 o r x 鈮� 1} [- 1, 0] 鈭� [1, 鈭�)$

Step by step solution

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

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

Step 2. Form the intervals

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

So the interval we have is:

$(- 鈭�, - 1) 鈭� (- 1, 0) 鈭� (0, 1) 鈭� (1, 鈭�)$

Step 3. Form the table

Since, $f (x) 鈮� 0$ , so is positive or zero.

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

Interval	Number chosen	Resultant
$(- 鈭�, - 1)$	-2	$- 6 鈮� 0$
$(- 1, 0)$	-0.5	role="math" localid="1646200757552" $\frac{3}{8} 鈮� 0$
$(0, 1)$	0.5	role="math" localid="1646200719599" $- \frac{3}{8} 鈮� 0$
$(1, 鈭�)$	3	$24 鈮� 0$

Step 4. Solution set and interval

Since,

$\frac{3}{8} 鈮� 0, 24 鈮� 0$ satisfy $f$ . Thus,

${x | - 1 鈮� x 鈮� 0 o r x 鈮� 1} [- 1, 0] 鈭� [1, 鈭�)$
