It can be simplified by just saying that the function is not continuous in the domain (-inf,inf). It has a vertical asymptote at x=2 so it is only continuous in the domain (-inf,2)U(2,inf), which means that it should be evaluated for both. I think that the real problem here is that most of the time (if you are not used to many functions) people tend to forget domains, ranges and other attributes, including myself. That is easily solved by plotting the functions so you can grasp what is happening. If you where to have something like (2x+1)/(x^2-2) > 1 you would have to evaluate for 2 asymptotes in x=+-sqrt(2) so the domain would be (-inf,-sqrt(2)) U (-sqrt(2),sqrt(2)) U (sqrt(2),inf), for which the inequality only holds true for the domains (-sqrt(2),-1) U (sqrt(2),3).

Why does multiplying both sides NOT work? This is the key to understanding this issue and remembering not to make the mistake. otherwise you must rely on pure rote learning, which is limiting and subject to memory lapses. The issue is that because (x-2) might be positive or negative or zero, and if negative then the inequality sign would need to be reversed (as multiplying both side by a negative number reverses the sign - try it if you don't see it). This issue does not arise with equalities. If zero you end up with 0 > 0, which is not a solution (graphically this is where there is an asymptote). The equality trick still works, but you have to consider the case that x = 2 (where the asymptote is; the graph line might visually disappear off to infinity and come back from minus infinity for example).

1:10. An explanation of why we are setting the numerator and denominator to zero would be helpful here. It otherwise just comes across as a 'trick'. It is presumably because we want both the numerator and demominator to have the same sign for the inequality to be true. So the points where each can change sign are important, and these are at values of x which make each zero. However, if you just state that both the numerator and denominator have to have the same sign at this stage then it becomes obvious that the answer has to be x2.

Though i like your solution, there's nothing (technically) wrong with wanting to multiply by the variable expression '(x-2)' as a first step. The mistake is to assume that you would simply get '2x+1 > x-2' from it. The issue is that the variable expression, you want to multiply with, might be lower than, equal to or greater than zero. Here 'equal to zero' is not a valid option for a denominator 'x-2', therefore the correct equivalent tranformation would be the following: (2x+1)/(x-2) > 1 (x-2 < 0 and 2x+1 < x-2) or (x-2 > 0 and 2x+1 > x-2) (x < 2 and x < -3) or (x > 2 and x > -3) x < -3 or x > 2

The part(s) of the numberline, marked with both colors is the result, which happens to be 'x < 2'. Another way to do that is to apply rules of logic (and some purely optical changes), in detail: x < 2 and x < -3 | -3 < 2 is always true, so it doesn't change the truthness of any part if we apply it using and x < 2 and x < -3 and -3 < 2 | draw together x < -3 and -3 < 2 x < 2 and x < -3 < 2 | note that x < 2 is contained in x < -3 < 2 and therefore redundant x < -3 < 2 | split x < -3 < 2 x < -3 and -3 < 2 | removing sth that is always true and appended using and doesn't change the truthness of the expression x < -3 A third method is to map the boolean expression to set theory: x < 2 and x < -3 | exchange english 'and' to default math symbol for 'and' x < 2 ∧ x < -3 | and/∧ corresponds to intersect/∩ { x | x ∈ ℝ^(< 2) } ∩ { x | x ∈ ℝ^(< -3) } { x | x ∈ (ℝ^(< 2) ∩ ℝ^(< -3) } { x | x ∈ (ℝ^(< -3) } x < -3 Sidenote: The operator or/∨ corresponds to union/∪, The operator not/¬ corresponds to complement and the complement of a set A ⊆ ℝ is the set A^c := ℝ\A.

Here is a slightly more advanced method that does not require checking to find our intervals, but only works if we know x must be real. Multiply both sides by (x - 2)^2. Since x is real, (x - 2)^2 must be positive, so the inequality sign does not change while our denominator is eliminated. That leaves us: (2x + 1)(x - 2) > (x - 2)^2 Next, expand the polynomials, group like terms, and do _some_ of completing the square. 2x^2 - 3x - 2 > x^2 - 4x + 4 x^2 + x > 6 4x^2 + 4x > 24 4x^2 + 4x + 1 > 24 + 1 (2x + 1)^2 > 25 For the next step in this process, rather than putting the ± on the right-hand side, note the left-hand side as an absolute value and use the principal root on the right-hand side: |2x + 1| > 5 Remembering the definition of an absolute value, we solve this as two inequalities: 2x + 1 > 5 2x > 4 x > 2 2x + 1 < -5 2x < -6 x < -3 And there is the answer Mr. H got without having to check values, and without having to notice the graph would be a parabola.

This is a good method. However at the point where we have the inequality (x+3)/(x-2) > 0, I would recommend, rather than substituting numbers (which is tedious), simply dividing that number line up into three "zones" and check the sign in each zone giving the pattern: - + + for (x-3) and - - + for (x-2); the sign of the quotient is then easily seen to be + - + ... solved. This 'zonal method' has the advantage that it easily generalises to any inequality of the form f(x)/q(x) where f(x) amd q(x) can be factorised into linear factors. I always taught this method and pupils always found it easy to digest. Finally, if some of the factors are "the wrong way round" then multiplication by -1 sorts it ... e.g. (x-5)(x+2)/(x-1)(4-x) > 0 is equivalent to (x-5)(x+2)/(x-1)(x-4) < 0. Having all the factors with positive coefficients of x means that the pattern ALWAYS starts with a - on the leftmost zone, and changes to + as it crosses its own zero; once this simple technique is understood, solving these sorts of inequalities becomes an absolute breeze.

Thank You though.

Since a greater than sign there is no definitive answer

I tried multiplying by (x-2)^2

I thought I understood how to do those.

That seems to be a very complicated way to solve this. Just multiply by (x-2) but make sure you split it into two inequalities with 2 different conditions: 2x+1>x-2 if x>2 and 2x+12 and x

If the quotient has to be greater than 1, the dividend has to be greater than the divisor, so you can rewrite it as 2x+1 > x-2, which is easy to solve.

This is video an example of how to make a mountain out of a molehill. As many have commented, multiply by (x-2) is fine, just accommodate the cases (x-2)>0 and (x-2)

U don’t need to test every region separately ( assuming there are no brackets with powers). In this case the correct region will alternate

But why is it wrong
@benjaminklapproth29134 ай бұрын
Because 1 greater than 1 isn’t possible.

Because when you multiply by (x-2) you don’t know if you multiply by a negative or a positive number. It’s ok when you are solving an equation but here this is an inequation so the sign matters

Great explanation. Can you do anything about that chalk noise? Is that a freestanding chalk board?
@ibrahimkavalci77984 ай бұрын
my way is different lets add and subtract 4 from the 2x+1 part. it becomes 2x-4+5. then the equation becomes 2 + (5/(x-2)) >1 lets subt 2 from both sides. Then equation seems to be like that : 5/(x-2) >-1 lets divide both sides by 5, then: 1/(x-2) >1/(-5) lets consider only divider parts now (x-2)
@ssss8551672 ай бұрын
The right way to solve this is to multiply both sides by (x-2)^2. Since (x-2)^2 is always positive, it does not change the inequality sign.

Hmm, I find it easier to manipulate the original inequality, splitting cases depending on the sign of (x - 2). So if x > 2, we get (2x + 1) > (x - 2) so x > -3. Since x > 2 implies x > -3 the inequality is true for all x > 2. If x < 2, we multiply the original inequality by (x - 2) but reverse the inequality. This gives (2x + 1) < (x - 2), so x < -3. We find that x < -3 implies x < 2 so we have found solutions for all x < -3 and x > 2 from the previous case.
