Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The number of integer values of

x

satisfying the inequality is 5.

Factoring

3x^2 - 10x - 8 \leq 0

gives

(3x + 2)(x - 4) \leq 0

. The region where the quadratic expression is non-positive lies between the roots

x = -\frac{2}{3}

and

x = 4

, yielding

-\frac{2}{3} \leq x \leq 4

. The integers falling within this closed interval are

0, 1, 2, 3,

and

4

, giving a total of 5 integer solutions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Factor the quadratic expression

(3x + 2)(x - 4) \leq 0

Factoring allows us to find the critical boundary values of the inequality.

2

Find the critical values (roots)

x = -\frac{2}{3}

and

x = 4

Setting each linear factor to zero determines where the expression changes sign.

3

Determine the solution set interval

-\frac{2}{3} \leq x \leq 4

Since the coefficient of

x^2

is positive, the quadratic curve is convex (U-shaped), so the expression is less than or equal to zero between the roots.

4

List and count the integer solutions

Integers:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4

(Total = 5)

The smallest integer greater than or equal to

-\frac{2}{3}

is

0

, and the largest integer less than or equal to

4

is

4

.

Cevap: $1 \le x < 5$

Cevap

The set of real values satisfying both inequalities is

1 \le x < 5

.

Solving the quadratic inequality

x^2 - 3x - 10 < 0

gives the open interval

-2 < x < 5

. Solving the linear inequality

3 - 2x \le 1

gives

-2x \le -2

, which upon dividing by

-2

and reversing the inequality sign becomes

x \ge 1

. Finding the overlapping values that satisfy both inequalities gives

1 \le x < 5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Solve the quadratic inequality

x^2 - 3x - 10 < 0

.

Factor into

(x - 5)(x + 2) < 0

. Critical values are

x = -2

and

x = 5

. Since the inequality is strictly less than zero, the solution region is

-2 < x < 5

.

The quadratic expression is negative between its real roots.

2

Solve the linear inequality

3 - 2x \le 1

.

Subtract 3 from both sides:

-2x \le -2

. Divide by

-2

and flip the inequality sign:

x \ge 1

.

Dividing or multiplying an inequality by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality sign.

3

Find the intersection of the two solution sets.

Combine

-2 < x < 5

and

x \ge 1

to get

1 \le x < 5

.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $x \le -2$ or $1 < x \le 3$

Cevap

The complete solution set is

x \le -2

or

1 < x \le 3

.

The expression

\frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{x-1}

evaluates to a non-positive value (

\le 0

) when the numerator and denominator have opposite signs or when the numerator is zero. Evaluating across the critical boundaries

x = -2, 1, 3

while excluding

x = 1

yields the solution set

x \le -2

or

1 < x \le 3

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Factor the quadratic numerator and state the domain restriction.

The numerator factors as

x^2 - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2)

, giving the rational inequality

\frac{(x - 3)(x + 2)}{x - 1} \le 0

with

x \neq 1

.

Factoring isolates the critical boundary points where the expression can change sign.

2

Identify all critical numbers.

The critical values are

x = -2

,

x = 1

, and

x = 3

.

These points partition the real number line into sub-intervals.

3

Test points in each interval to determine the sign of the rational function

f(x) = \frac{(x - 3)(x + 2)}{x - 1}

.

For

x < -2

,

f(x) \le 0

; for

-2 < x < 1

,

f(x) > 0

; for

1 < x < 3

,

f(x) \le 0

; for

x > 3

,

f(x) > 0

.

Determining where the function is negative or zero identifies the regions satisfying

\le 0

.

4

Combine intervals and include non-undefined endpoints.

Endpoints

x = -2

and

x = 3

make the numerator zero (included), while

x = 1

makes the denominator zero (excluded). Thus,

x \le -2

or

1 < x \le 3

.

Division by zero must be excluded from the solution set.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $-2 < x \leq \frac{1}{2}$

Cevap

-2 < x \leq \frac{1}{2}

Subtracting 1 from both sides yields

\frac{1 - 2x}{x + 2} \geq 0

. The critical points are

x = \frac{1}{2}

and

x = -2

. Testing values shows that the fraction is positive for

-2 < x < \frac{1}{2}

and equal to zero at

x = \frac{1}{2}

. Since

x = -2

causes division by zero, it is excluded from the interval, giving

-2 < x \leq \frac{1}{2}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality to set one side to zero.

\frac{3 - x}{x + 2} - 1 \geq 0

Direct cross-multiplication is invalid because the sign of

(x + 2)

depends on

x

.

2

Combine the terms over a common denominator.

\frac{(3 - x) - (x + 2)}{x + 2} \geq 0 \implies \frac{1 - 2x}{x + 2} \geq 0

Simplifying the numerator yields a clear rational inequality expression.

3

Identify the critical points and domain restrictions.

Numerator critical point:

x = \frac{1}{2}

; Denominator restriction:

x \neq -2

.

The quotient changes sign around

x = \frac{1}{2}

and

x = -2

, and division by zero is undefined.

4

Test the intervals

(-\infty, -2)

,

(-2, \frac{1}{2}]

, and

(\frac{1}{2}, \infty)

.

For

x \in (-2, \frac{1}{2}]

, the expression

\frac{1 - 2x}{x + 2}

is non-negative.

When

x = 0

,

\frac{1}{2} > 0

(positive). Outside this interval, the ratio is negative.

Cevap: $\frac{1}{2} < x < 3$

Cevap

\frac{1}{2} < x < 3

Factorizing

2x^2 - 7x + 3 < 0

gives

(2x - 1)(x - 3) < 0

. The roots of the quadratic equation

(2x - 1)(x - 3) = 0

are

x = \frac{1}{2}

and

x = 3

. Because the coefficient of

x^2

is positive, the quadratic curve opens upwards and is strictly negative between the two roots. Therefore, the inequality is satisfied when

\frac{1}{2} < x < 3

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Factorize the quadratic expression

2x^2 - 7x + 3 = (2x - 1)(x - 3)

Factorization allows us to find the critical values of the inequality.

2

Determine the critical values by setting the factored expression to zero

x = \frac{1}{2}

Cevap

The maximum integer value of

m

is

5

.

For the quadratic expression

x^2 - mx + 9

to remain strictly positive for all real values of

x

, the quadratic curve must lie completely above the x-axis. Because the coefficient of

x^2

is positive (

1 > 0

), this requires the discriminant to be strictly negative (

D < 0

). Evaluating

b^2 - 4ac < 0

Multiplying the inequality by 6 clears denominators to give

2(1 - 4x) \le 3(x + 7)

. Expanding gives

2 - 8x \le 3x + 21

1

Clear the denominators by multiplying both sides of the inequality by the lowest common multiple of 3 and 2, which is 6.

6 \cdot \left(\frac{1 - 4x}{3}\right) \le 6 \cdot \left(\frac{x + 7}{2}\right) \implies 2(1 - 4x) \le 3(x + 7)

Eliminating fractions simplifies the algebraic manipulation.

Expand both sides by distributing the factors.

2 - 8x \le 3x + 21

Removing parentheses allows grouping of like terms.

(2x + 1)(x - 3) \le 0

. Setting the factors to zero gives roots

x = -1/2

Cevap: 5

Cevap

5

For the quadratic expression

(k - 2)x^2 + 8x + k + 4

if and only if its parabola opens upwards (

a > 0

) and it has no real x-intercepts (

\Delta < 0

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the conditions required for a quadratic expression

ax^2 + bx + c

to be strictly positive for all real

x

.

The coefficient of

x^2

must be positive (

a > 0

) and the discriminant must be strictly negative (

\Delta < 0

).

If

a < 0

, the parabola opens downwards and yields negative values. If

\Delta \ge 0

, the quadratic has real roots or a double root, taking non-positive values.

2

Apply the first condition

a > 0

to the coefficient of

x^2

.

k + 2 > 0 \implies k > -2

.

Ensures the parabola opens upwards.

3

Calculate the discriminant

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

and set

\Delta < 0

.

\Delta = [-2(k - 1)]^2 - 4(k + 2)(k + 5) = 4(k^2 - 2k + 1) - 4(k^2 + 7k + 10) = 4(-9k - 9) = -36(k + 1)

. Setting

-36(k + 1) < 0

.

Ensures the quadratic equation has no real roots and does not cross or touch the x-axis.

4

Solve the linear inequality

-36(k + 1) < 0

and combine with the first condition.

Dividing by

-36

reverses the inequality:

k + 1 > 0 \implies k > -1

. Taking the intersection of

Determine the number of integer values of $x$ that satisfy the quadratic inequality $3x^2 - 14x - 5 < 0$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The total number of integer values satisfying the inequality is 5.

Factoring

3x^2 - 14x - 5 < 0

gives

(3x + 1)(x - 5) < 0

. The critical roots are

x = -\frac{1}{3}

and

x = 5

. Since the parabola opens upward, the expression is negative between the roots, yielding the interval

-\frac{1}{3} < x < 5

. The integer values contained in this interval are

0, 1, 2, 3,

and

4

, which total 5 values.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Factor the quadratic expression

(3x + 1)(x - 5) < 0

Factoring identifies the critical values where the quadratic expression changes sign.

2

Determine the critical points

x = -\frac{1}{3}

and

x = 5

Setting each factor to zero gives the boundary roots of the equation.

3

Formulate the solution interval

-\frac{1}{3} < x < 5

Since the coefficient of

x^2

is positive, the quadratic curve is below the x-axis strictly between the two roots.

4

Find the smallest integer $x$ that satisfies the linear inequality $5 - 3x \le -7$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The smallest integer value of

x

satisfying the inequality is

4

.

Subtracting 5 from both sides of

5 - 3x \le -7

gives

-3x \le -12

. Dividing both sides by

-3

requires reversing the inequality sign to obtain

x \ge 4

. Therefore, the smallest integer value in the solution set is 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable term

-3x \le -12

Subtracting a constant from both sides maintains the inequality direction.

2

Divide both sides by

-3

and flip the inequality sign

x \ge 4

Dividing an inequality by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality symbol.

3

Identify the smallest integer satisfying the condition

4

The solution set contains all real numbers greater than or equal to 4, making 4 the minimum integer value.

Cevap: $-\frac{1}{2} \le x \le 3$

Cevap

The set of real values of

x

satisfying the inequality is

-\frac{1}{2} \le x \le 3

.

Multiplying

-2x^2 + 5x + 3 \ge 0

by

2x^2 - 5x - 3 \le 0

. Factorizing yields

(2x + 1)(x - 3) \le 0

. The product is non-positive between the roots

x = -\frac{1}{2}

and

x = 3

, giving

-\frac{1}{2} \le x \le 3
