\[\left| \left| x \right|-1 \right|<\left| 1-x \right| \] x belongs to R

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sollution of this (a) (-1,1) (b)(0,infinity) (c)(-1,infinity) (d)None of these

OpenStudy (kainui):

You could try plugging in the answers and see if you can't reverse-engineer the logic to fit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

||x|-1|<|1-x|<|1-|x||

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there a algebraic method

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3 cases : x = 0 x < 0 x > 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks Bswan has something :) lets see that first maybe..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

continue the 3 cases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i saw that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Won't mod of x be just "x"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when x = 0, clearly |0-1| < |1-0| is false so \( 0 \not \in S\) \(S = \)solution set

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when \(x > 0, |x| = x\) \(\implies |x-1| \lt |1-x| ~~?\) \(\implies |1-x| \lt |1-x| ~~?\) \(\implies FALSE\) so \(x> 0 \) also will not work

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you wana try the \(x < 0\) case ? it may work...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes the wolfram says the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say (d)None of these its ovs that |x|>=x |x|-1>= x-1 |x|-1>=-(1-x) ||x|-1|>=-|1-x| mmm something confusing meh >.>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will leave this to ask my professor probably

hartnn (hartnn):

take examples! like x= 0, -1,-2,-3, 3,4,5....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let ganeshie continue

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wym you will leave this ? its a trivial problem lol, just pen down and work case3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1401534105234:dw| when x<0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

case3 : when \(x \lt 0, |x| = -x = a\) \(\implies |a-1| \lt |1+a| ~~?\) \(\implies TRUE \) so \(x \lt 0\) is the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1401534371506:dw|
