Solution
The absolute value of a number is never negative.
|x| 0, x
Since |2x2 + 3x – 2| and |x – 2| are non-negative, just check their roots.
2x2 + 3x – 2 = 0 ; x = –2, x = |
1 |
|
2 |
x – 2 = 0 ; x = 2
–2 and 1 satisfy the inequality, so these values are in the solution set. However, 2 is not in |

EXAMPLE 48
Solution
We saw in Chapter 1 that a set of simultaneons equations to solve is called a system of equations. A system that of equations includes more than one inequality is called an inequality system.
To find the solution of a system, we solve each inequality separately and then find the intersection of the solutions.
|
x2 |
7x 8 > 0 |
Solve the inequality system |
|
. |
|
x2 |
4x+ 3 > 0 |
|
|
|
First find the zeros of each polynomial.
(1)x2 – 7x – 8 > 0
x2 – 7x – 8 = 0 ; x = –1, x = 8
(2)x2 – 4x + 3 > 0
x2 – 4x + 3 = 0 ; x = 1, x = 3
We need to find values so that both polynomials are greater than zero. Let us check the chart.

EXAMPLE 49
Solution
We can see that both polynomials are greater than zero when x (– , –1) (8, ). This is the intersection of the solutions.

|

(2) |
x2 < 64 ; |
x2 – 64 < 0 |
|

|
x2 – 64 = 0 ; x = 8 |

This time, both polynomials need to be less than zero, so x (–8, –2) (0, 2).

EXAMPLE |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solution |
For the inequality, we let t = x2 + x + 1. Then the original inequality becomes |
||||||||
|
|
t2 – 4t + 3 < 0. First let us solve the inequality for t. |
|
||||||
|
|
t2 – 4t + 3 = 0 ; t = 1, t = 3 |
