Help please (this has been driving me crazy)

OpenStudy (wcrmelissa2001):

\[\left| x \right|>\left| x^2-4 \right|\] I got the values needed for the answer but all the inequality signs are wrong. I can't seem to see the problem witih my answer either

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

square both sides and then solve

OpenStudy (wcrmelissa2001):

and also \[x+\left| x+5 \right| +\left| x+3 \right|=\frac{ \left| 6x-6 \right| }{ \left| 1-x \right| }\]

OpenStudy (wcrmelissa2001):

but that will leave me with a degree of 4 which is hard to solve

OpenStudy (wcrmelissa2001):

i tried putting it like -x<x^2-4<x but I'm not sure if its right

OpenStudy (wcrmelissa2001):

@phi (much love)

i think you have put intermidiate of your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean solution

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please consider the subsequent drawing: |dw:1457273985589:dw| here we have to subdivide the real line i these subsequent sets: \(x<-2\) \(-2<x<0\) \(0<x<2\) \(x>0\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

|dw:1457274132078:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example, if \(x<-2\), then we can rewrite the inequality, as below: \(-x>x^2-4\) so, please solve

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if \(x=-2\), then the inequality reads: \(2>0\) which is true, so \(x=-2\) belongs to the set of solutions

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for the first one you could square both sides to get an equation in x^4 which is not too difficult to solve x^2 = x^4 - 8x^2 + 16 x^4 - 9 x^2 + 16 = 0 the inequality will be x^4 - 9x^2 + 16 < 0 let x^2 = Y and solve for Y using the quadratic formula there will be 4 zeroes Drawing the graph using software (like Desmos) will show you what the inequalities are.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

or you can use a graphical calculator. the graph looks somethin like this |dw:1457356795411:dw|
