OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply both sides by (x-1) what is true of the result?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hollywood!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 I have already solved it, but one of my answers is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cannot multiply both sides by \(x-1\) because you do not know if \(x-1>0\) or \(x-1<0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to subtract \(3x+5\) from both sides, add the fractions, and then solve it is a real pain in the neck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{(x+3)(x+9)}{x-1}-3x+5>0\] is a start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about setting equal, then solving, then finding in which domains of x between zeroes it is > or < 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this really is a drag, you have to add up the fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example, I set the two sides equal, then factored into (x-11)(x+1).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 the multiple out the brackets right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2+12x+27/x-1 - 3x-5(x-1)/x-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x-11)(x+1)/x-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{(x+3)(x+9)}{x-1}-3x+5>0\] \[\frac{(x+3)(x+9)-(x-1)(3x-5)}{x-1}>0\] \[\frac{-2x^2+20x+22}{x-1}>0\] \[\frac{-2(x^2-10x-11)}{x-1}>0\]divide by -2 and change the sign \[\frac{x^2-10x-11}{x-1}<0\] factor \[\frac{(x-11)(x-1)}{x-1}<0\] and finally we are ready to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah what you wrote! but notice that the inequality has been switched from \(>0\) to \(<0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also i have a typo, it should be \[\frac{(x-11)(x+1)}{x-1}<0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@waterineyes you say "mistake" is say "typo" po tay to po tah to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sick guys.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you took it seriously @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no i always call my errors "typos" ask myininaya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sometimes they even are typos, but mostly they are just garden variety mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hollywood_chrissy now you are good to go right? changes sign at \(x=-1,1,11\) and is negative if \(x<-1\) or \(1<x<11\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yessir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw good to see you back. this is much harder math than before right? you must have been doing lots of work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is.
