Basic Concept Used
If a and b are two positive real numbers such that a < b,
Answer:
1. x > -2 or x < -7
2. 2 < x < 8
3. x ≥ -1 or x ≤ -5
4. x > 7 or x < -2
5. -4 < x < -1,5
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
x² + 9x + 14 = (x + 2)(x + 7) > 0
⇒ x + 2 > 0, x + 7 > 0 ↔ x > -2, x > -7 ⇒ x > -2
or x + 2 < 0, x + 7 < 0 ↔ x < -2, x < -7 ⇒ x < -7
2.
x² - 10x + 16 = (x - 2)(x - 8) < 0
x - 2 > x - 8 ⇒ x - 2 > 0, x - 8 < 0
⇔ 2 < x < 8
3.
x² + 6x ≥ -5
x² + 6x + 5 = (x + 1)(x + 5) ≥ 0
⇒ x + 1 ≥ 0, x + 5 ≥ 0 ↔ x ≥ -1, x ≥ -5 ⇒ x ≥ -1
or x + 1 ≤ 0, x + 5 ≤ 0 ↔ x ≤ -1, x ≤ -5 ⇒ x ≤ -5
4.
x² - 5x - 14 = (x + 2)(x - 7) > 0
⇒ x + 2 > 0, x - 7 > 0 ↔ x > -2, x > 7 ⇒ x > 7
or x + 2 < 0, x - 7 < 0 ↔ x < -2, x < 7 ⇒ x < -2
5.
2x² + 11x + 12 = (x + 4)(2x + 3) < 0
⇒ x + 4 < 0, 2x + 3 > 0 ↔ x < -4, x > -1.5 (false)
or x + 4 > 0, 2x + 3 < 0 ↔ x > -4, x < -1.5 ⇒ -4 < x < -1.5
