We have to solve the inequality: 2x^2 + 4x - 7 <
0
2x^2 + 4x - 7 can be written as factors of roots
as
(x - x1)(x - x2), where
x1
= -4/4 + sqrt (16 + 56)/4
=> x1 = -1 + 6(sqrt
2)/4
=> x1 = -1 + (3*sqrt
2)/2
x2 = -1 - (3*sqrt 2)/2
As
a product of factors we have: (x - (-1 + (3*sqrt 2)/2))(x - (-1 - (3*sqrt
2)/2)
This is negative when either of (x - (-1 + (3*sqrt
2)/2)) or (x - (-1 - (3*sqrt 2)/2) is
negative.
- (x - (-1 + (3*sqrt 2)/2)) < 0
and (x - (-1 - (3*sqrt 2)/2) >
0
=> x < (-1 + (3*sqrt 2)/2) and
x > (-1 - (3*sqrt 2)/2). This gives the values of x in the interval ( (-1 -
(3*sqrt 2)/2), (-1 + (3*sqrt 2)/2).
- (x - (-1 +
(3*sqrt 2)/2)) > 0 and (x - (-1 - (3*sqrt 2)/2) < 0
=> x > (-1 + (3*sqrt 2)/2) and x
< (-1 - (3*sqrt 2)/2) which is not
possible.
The solution for the inequality is
x in the range ((-1 - (3*sqrt 2)/2), (-1 + (3*sqrt
2)/2).
