To solve the inequality \frac{x^2+x+3}{2x^2+x-6}\ge \:0

\mathrm{Factor\:the\:left\:hand\:side\:}\frac{x^2+x+3}{2x^2+x-6}:

The numerator x^2+x+3 is not factorizable.

so factor the denominator 2x^2+x-6:

2x^2+x-6=\left(2x^2-3x\right)+\left(4x-6\right)=x\left(2x-3\right)+2\left(2x-3\right)\\ \mathrm{Factor\:out\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:}2x^2-3x\mathrm{:\quad }x\left(2x-3\right)\\ \mathrm{Factor\:out\:}2\mathrm{\:from\:}4x-6\mathrm{:\quad }2\left(2x-3\right)\\

Now take \mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}\left(2x-3\right)

Then we get factor of the denominator as \left(2x-3\right)\left(x+2\right)

Thus \frac{x^2+x+3}{2x^2+x-6}=\frac{x^2+x+3}{\left(x+2\right)\left(2x-3\right)}

Now \mathrm{Compute\:the\:signs\:of\:the\:factors\:of\:}\frac{x^2+x+3}{\left(x+2\right)\left(2x-3\right)}\\

Signs of x^2+x+3>0

\mathrm{Choosing\:ranges\:that\:satisfy\:the\:required\:condition:}\:\ge \:\:0

Answer: (-\infty, -2)\cup(3/2,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression,

\frac{x^2 + x + 3}{2x^2 + x - 6} \geq 0

Since, for the value of x,

Denominator ≠ 0,

2x^2+x-6\neq 0

\implies 2x^2+4x - 3x - 6\neq =0

\implies 2x(x+2)-3(x+2)\neq 0

\implies (2x-3)(x+2)\neq 0

\text{ if }2x-3\neq 0\implies x\neq \frac{3}{2}

\text{If } x+2\neq 0\implies x\neq -2

Thus, there is three intervals possible,

1) (-\infty,-2)

2) (-2,\frac{3}{2})

3) (\frac{3}{2},\infty)

In first intervals, \frac{x^2 + x + 3}{2x^2 + x - 6} \geq 0 is  true.

⇒ (-\infty,-2) will contain the value of x.

In second interval, \frac{x^2 + x + 3}{2x^2 + x - 6} \geq 0

is not true,

⇒ (-2, -\frac{3}{2}) will not contain the value of x,

In third interval,

In third interval, \frac{x^2 + x + 3}{2x^2 + x - 6} \geq 0

is true,

⇒ (-2, -\frac{3}{2}) will contain the value of x,

In third interval,

Thus, the value of x is,

(-\infty, -2)\cup(3/2,\infty)

A taxi driver wrote a formula to represent the mileage and fee for his last customer. He wrote the equation 3.00 + 0.50 m = 9.50
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.

Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the equation given:

3.00 + 0.50 m = 9.50

Where m is the number of miles.

The equation states that the fixed fee charged (3.00) plus the product of the value of each mile traveled (0.50) and the number of miles traveled (m); is equal to 9.50.

So, the correct statements are:

  • The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
  • Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
