We see that the origin (0,0) satisfies the inequation x + 2y ≤ 40
Therefore, the region containing the origin is the solution of the inequality x + 2y ≤ 40

3x + y = 30: This line meets the x-axis at (10, 0) and y-axis at (0, 30). Draw a thick line through these points.
We see that the origin (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation 3x + y ≥ 30
Therefore, the region that does not contain the origin is the solution of the inequality 3x + y ≥ 30

4x + 3y = 60: This line meets the x-axis at (15, 0) and y-axis at (0, 20). Draw a thick line through these points.
We see that the origin (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation 4x + 3y ≥ 60 Therefore, the region that does not contain the origin is the solution of the inequality 4x + 3y ≥ 60

Also, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 represents the first quadrant. So, the solution set must be in the first quadrant.

Hence, the solution to the inequalities is the intersection of the above three solutions. Thus, the shaded region represents the solution set of the given set of inequalities.

(iv) Converting the inequations to equations, we obtain:
5x + y = 10, 2x + 2y = 12, x + 4y = 12
5x + y =10: This line meets the x-axis at (2, 0) and y-axis at (0, 10). Draw a thick line through these points.
We see that the origin (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation 5x + y ≥ 10
Therefore, the region that does not contain the origin is the solution of the inequality 5x + y ≥10

2x + 2y = 12: This line meets the x-axis at (6, 0) and y-axis at (0, 6). Draw a thick line through these points.
We see that the origin (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation 2x + 2y ≥ 12
Therefore, the region that does not contain the origin is the solution of the inequality 2x + 2y ≥ 12

x + 4y = 12: This line meets the x-axis at (12, 0) and y-axis at (0, 3). Draw a thick line through these points.
We see that the origin (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation x + 4y ≥ 12
Therefore, the region that does not contain the origin is the solution of the inequality
x + 4y ≥ 12

Also, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 represents the first quadrant. So, the solution set must be in the first quadrant.

Hence, the solution to the inequalities is the intersection of the above three solutions. Thus, the shaded region represents the solution set of the given set of inequalities.
Here, the solution set is unbounded region.

Q1.

Answer :

We have,x2x-2>0Equating both the numerator and the denominator with zero, we obtain x=0 and x=2 as critical points.Plotting these points on the real line, we see that the real line is divided into three regions.

Therefore, the solution set of the given inequality is x∈(2,∞).

Q2.

Answer :

We have,x+1x≥2⇒x2+1x≥2⇒x2+1x-2≥0⇒x2-2x+1x≥0⇒(x-1)2x≥0⇒Either (x-1)2≥0 and x > 0 or (x-1)2<0 and x<0.But, (x-1)2 is always greater than zero. ∴(x-1)2≥0 and x > 0⇒x > 0⇒x∈0, ∞

Q3.

Answer :

We have:Therefore, the solution of the given inequality is x∈(2,∞)

x2-2x+1x-4<0⇒(x-1)2(x-4)<0Equating each one to zero, we obtain x=1 and x= 4.Therefore, 1 and 4 are critical points.Drawing the number lines, we get:

1
Therefore, the solution set of the given inequality is x∈-∞, 1∪1, 4herefore, the solution of the given inequality is x∈(2,∞)

Q4.

Answer :

We have,2-x=x-2Now 2 cases arise.CASE 1: When 2-x≥0, then 2-x=2-x⇒2-x=x-2⇒2-x=x-2⇒2x=4⇒x=2So, this condition is satisfied when x =2.CASE 2: When 2-x<0 i.e. when x>2, then 2-x=-(2-x)⇒2-x=x-2⇒-(2-x)=x-2⇒-2+x=x-2⇒ -2=-2So, this condition is satisfied when x>2Hence, from the given two cases, the solution set of the given equation is [2,∞)

Q5.

Answer :

We have,x-1≤3 and x-1≥1We know:x-a≤r⇒a-r≤x≤a+rAnd, x-a≥r⇒x≤a-r or x≥a+r∴ 1-3≤x≤1+3 and x≤1-1 or x≥1+1⇒-2≤x≤4 and x≤0 or x≥2⇒x∈[-2,4] and x∈(-∞,0] ∪[2,∞)⇒x∈-2, 0 U 2, 4

Q6.

Answer :

We have:1x-2>4Here, two cases arise.CASE 1: When 1x-2>0, then 1x-2=1x-2∴ 1x-2>4⇒ 1x-2-4>0⇒1x>6⇒x∈0, 16 …(i)CASE 2: When 1x-2<0, then 1x-2=-1x-2∴ -1x+2>4⇒-1x>2⇒1x<-2⇒x∈-∞,-12 …(ii)Hence, the solution set of the given in equation is the union of (i) and (ii).∴ x∈-∞,-12∪0, 16

Q7.

Answer :

We have, x+2×2+1>12⇒x+2×2+1-12>0⇒2x+2-x2+12×2+1>0⇒2x+4-x2-12×2+1>0⇒-x2+2x+32×2+1>0To make the fraction of the left side positive, either the numerator or the denominator should be positive or both should be negative.Since, it is clear that the denominator is positive, the numerator must be positive.-x2+2x+3>0⇒x2-2x-3<0⇒x-3x+1<0Now, to make the left side negative, one of these i.e. (x-3) or (x+1) should be positive and the other should be negative.Also, x+1>x-3∴ x+1>0 and x-3<0⇒x>-1 and x<3⇒x∈-1, 3 The integral solution of x is 0, 1, 2.Hence, there are 3 integral solutions of the given inequation.

Q8.

Answer :

We have,5x+2<3x+8 and x+2x-1<4⇒2x<6 and x+2x-1-4<0⇒x<3 and x+2-4x+4x-1<0⇒x∈(-∞,3) and -3x+6x-1<0⇒x∈(-∞,3) and -x+2x-1<0For -x+2x-1<0, critical points are 1 and 2.⇒x∈(2,∞)∪ (-∞,1)∴ x∈(-∞,1)∪(2,3)

Q9.

Answer :

We have:x+1x>2⇒x+1x-2>0CASE 1: When x+1x>0, then x+1x=x+1xNow, x+1x-2>0⇒x+1x-2>0⇒x2+1-2xx>0⇒(x-1)2x>0⇒x>0 and x≠ 1⇒x∈(0,1)U(1,∞) …iCASE 2: When x+1x<0, then x+1x=-(x+1x)Now, x+1x-2>0⇒-x-1x-2>0⇒-x2-1-2xx>0⇒x2+1+2xx<0 Multiplying both sides by -1⇒(x+1)2x<0⇒x<0 and x≠-1⇒x∈(-∞,-1)U(-1, 0) …iiThus, the solution set of the given inequation is the union of i and ii (0,1)U(1,∞ )∪(-∞,-1)U(-1, 0)=R–1, 0, 1∴ x∈R–1, 0,

Q10.

Answer :

We have:x-1≥x-3⇒x-1-x-3≥0The LHS of the inequation has two seperate modulus. Equating these to zero, we obtain x=1,3 as critical points.These points divide the real line in three regions, i.e (-∞,1], [1,3], [3,∞).CASE 1: When -∞<x≤1, then x-1=-(x-1) and x-3=-(x-3)∴ x-1-x-3≥0⇒-(x-1)–(x-3)≥0⇒-x+1+x-3≥0⇒-2≥0But this is not possible.CASE 2: When 1≤x≤3, then x-1=x-1and x-3 =-(x-3)∴ x-1-x-3≥0⇒x-1+x-3≥0⇒⇒2x≥4⇒x≥2⇒x∈[2,∞)CASE 3: When 3≤x<∞, then x-1=x-1 and x-3 =x-3∴ x-1-x-3≥0⇒x-1-x+3≥0 ⇒2≥0This is true.Hence, the solution to the given inequality comes from cases 2 and 3.[2,∞)U [3,∞)= [2,∞)∴ x∈[2,∞)
