solve for \(x\)
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} (x-1)\sqrt{x^2-x-2}\geq 0\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
i got \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} x\geq 1 \cup \left(x\geq 2 \cup x\leq -1\right)\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
\[x^2-x-2=(x-2)(x+1) \\ (x-1) \sqrt{(x-1)(x-2)} \ge 0\] we should consider the domain of the square root function there on that square root function's domain the square root function will be positive so then you just need to consider when (x-1) is positive and find the intersection of these sets
how to solve this \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} x\geq 1 \cup \left(x\geq 2 \cup x\leq -1\right)\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
is that one symbol is suppose to be an intersect sign ?
i havent studied intersection of sets
i just tried and posted
we should also go back to include when the function is 0 but I think you mean \[(x \ge 1) \cap (x \ge 2 \cup x \le -1)\] draw a number line in keep in mind that x can be 1,-1,2 since that makes the function 0 but anyways it might helped to also graph that... |dw:1436976303765:dw|
