if 2x^2+1>3x, prove that |4x-3|>1 actually i ald has d ans but i don't know is right or wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is the ans: 2x^2+1>3x 2x^2-3x+1>0 (2x-1)(x-1)>0 i solve by graph, x<1/2 ------1st or x >1--------2nd use 1st inequality x<1/2 2x<1 4x<2 4x-3<2-3 4x-3<-1 -(4x-3)>1 use the 2nd inequality x>1 4x>4 4x-3>4-3 4x-3>1 by combine the inequalities -(4x-3)>1 and 4x-3>1, Therefore, |4x-3|>1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my ans correct??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know but you typed a lot i gave you medal let me check

OpenStudy (lalaly):

its right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay let me do this \[2x^2 -3x + 1>0\] \[(2x-1)(x-1)>0\] 1 1/2 ---------|---------------|----------- ++++ -------- ++++++ Okay you did that right |4x-3|>1 -1>4x-1 or 4x-3>1 -1/2>x or x>1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya but until the number line.... the lower part u can refer to the 1st post.... i write there...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neoh my head not working now i gotta sleep ..what i did is correct if your book shows something other then it's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<-1/2 or x>1 while x is in quadratic one x >1/2 or x<1 just check the domains

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... my book has ans only, no step.... especially proving question(no ans).... but thanks a lot for helping me...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good luck : ) i will get some help here

OpenStudy (phi):

neoh, you did it correctly... what's the question? The only thing I can add is that you can solve the original using algebra rather than graphically: (2x-1)(x-1)>0 is true if 1) both terms are positive. i.e. 2x-1> 0 and x-1>0 this gives x>1/2 and x>1. since both terms must be positive, this simplifies to x>1 2) both terms are negative. i.e. 2x-1<0 and x-1<0 this gives x<1/2 and x<1. Both conditions must be true, so x<1/2 (Note that if x <1 this would allow for example x= 3/4, which is > 1/2, so the 2x-1 term would not be negative). Everything you did with these two inequalities makes perfect sense.

ok... it's good... my teacher didn't teach me this method... it is a good method... thx...:-)
