Set of all the values of xx satisfying the inequality x2−7x+6>x+2\sqrt{x^{2} - 7x + 6} > x + 2 is

Options

  1. Ax∈(−∞,211)x \in \left(- \infty, \dfrac{2}{11}\right)
  2. Bx∈(211,∞)x \in \left(\dfrac{2}{11}, \infty\right)
  3. Cx∈(−∞,1]∪[6,∞)x \in \left(- \infty,1\right] \cup \left[6, \infty\right)
  4. Dx \in \left[6,6,\infty\right)

Correct answer

A. x∈(−∞,211)x \in \left(- \infty, \dfrac{2}{11}\right)

Step-by-step solution

x^{2} - 7x + 6 \ge 0 ⇒ x \in \left(- \infty,1\right] \cup \left[6, \infty\right)<br />Case I:x < - 2<br/>LHSisnonnegative,RHSisnegative<br/><br />LHS is non negative, RHS is negative<br />⇒ theinequalityisalwaystrue</p><p>~the inequality is always true</p><p>⇒ x < - 2 .<br/>CaseII:<br />Case II:x \ge - 2<br/><br />x^{2} - 7x + 6 > x^{2} + 4x + 4<br/><br />- 11x > - 2 ⇒ x < \dfrac{2}{11}<br/><br />⇒ x \in \left[-2,2,\dfrac{2}{11}\right)
Taking the union of the two cases, we get,~
x∈(−∞,211)</p>x \in \left(- \infty, \dfrac{2}{11}\right)</p>
