Setting aside the extent to which this may be a homework problem, since it's often confusing to express mathematical formulae in conventional, linear text, perhaps you should clarify if you mean: "(x+1) dividied by (2-x) is greater than 2" or "x plus 0.5 minus x is greater than 2" (I suspect you mean the first one, since the last one would never be true...) |

Consider: x+1 --- = 2 2-x Then x+1 = 2 (2-x) So x+1 = 4 - 2x So x+2x = 4-1 So 3x = 3 So x = 1 So, we have a straight line which changes from > to < at x=1 If we try x=1.5 x+1 1.5+1 2.5 --- = ----- = --- = 5 2-x 2-1.5 0.5 And 5 > 2, so larger values of x make the inequality true So, the original formula is true for all values of x >1 Ratty |

Answer : 1 < x < 2
----------------------------------------------------
Other way:
(x+1) / (2-x) > 2
If x < 2 then
x + 1 > 2*(2-x)
x + 1 > 4 - 2x
3x > 3
x > 1 Partial solution 1 < x < 2
If x > 2 then
x + 1 < 2*(2-x) (the inequation changes because we are multipling by
a negative number)
x + 1 < 4 - 2x
3x < 3
x < 1
Partial solution is the empty set (x < 1 intersection x > 2 is the empty set)
Then: Answer is 1 < x < 2 |
