OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
Yes.

Cross multiply.
1 < -x^2
1+x^2 < 0
x^2 + 1 > 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do you sqrt the -1?
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
(x-1)(x+1) > 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isnt (x-1)(x+1) from (x^2 - 1?)
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
Yes. same thing.

so can i know from where they got the 0 from? bcs the answer is x<0 and 0<x<1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Are you sure sure the answer is "and" not "or" ?
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
i think it will be and.. im not sure though.
coz we use U while denoting it..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think this is an "or" problem...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The answer I am getting is \[ x<0 \text { or } 0<x<1 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
@FoolForMath please show ur steps, tq :)
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
U is the union means all the terms?
i think we will use "intersection" for or.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
intersection is "and"

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Union -> "or"
Intersection -> "And"
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
But U is like all terms right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes..
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
so all means and?
idk. but thanks for correcting! :D
