Solutions

State the solution set using interval notation and graph its solution set .

Note : They have only asked for graph of the solution set ( which is basically a number line denoting the set of real numbers ) and not for the graph of the expressions given .

12. Given x2 + x > 0  x ( x + 1 ) > 0

Rule (i) : a . b = + ve then either both ' a ' and ' b ' got to be positive or
negative .

Numerical example : 2 times 3 = 6 or (-2 ) times ( -3 ) = 6

That makes :

x > 0 or x + 1 > 0

consider x + 1 > 0 , subtract 1 from both the sides to get : x > - 1

 x > 0 or x > -1

common region : x > 0

Writing it in mathematical notation , we have : x in ( 0 ,  )

x < 0 or x + 1 < 0

consider x + 1 < 0 , subtract 1 from both the sides to get : x < - 1

 x < 0 or x < - 1

common region : x < - 1

Writing it in mathematical notation , we have : x in ( -  , -1 )

Note : open brackets means the set doesn't include the end points . Infinity denoted by '  ' stands for the extreme point or the maximum end value in the number line , the set of real numbers .

 so the solution our given expression is ( -  , - 1 ) U ( 0 ,  )

graph of this solution set is as given below :

Note : circle in the graph ...
