Solve the inequality State the solution using interval notat
Solve the inequality. State the solution using interval notation. You can solve this problem algebraically or geometrically. 65x < 28(1 + x2)
Solution
65x < 28 ( 1+ x^2 )
65x < 28 + 28x^2
subtracting 65x from both sides , the inequality becomes
28x^2 - 65x + 28 > 0
(7x-4)(4x-7) > 0
critical points are 4/7 , 7/4
--------------4/7 ------------- 7/4 -----------------
checking the inequality at 3 intervals ( -infinity , 4/7) , (4/7, 7/4) and ( 7/4 , infinity )
solution is
x < 4/7
x > 7/4
interval notation
( -infinity , 4/7) U ( 7/4 , infinity )
