Linear Algebra

We need to solve the given inequality x2x12x0\frac {x^2 - |x| - 12} {|x|}\le 0


Solution:

Given inequality


x2x12x0\frac {x^2 - |x| - 12} {|x|}\le 0

Multiply with x|x| on both sides of inequality, then we get

x2x120 and x>0x^2 - |x| - 12 \le 0 \space and \space |x|>0


We can also write this as,

x2x120 and x>0|x|^2 - |x| - 12\le0 \space and \space |x|>0

We can factorize this as,

x24x+3x120|x|^2 - 4|x| + 3|x| - 12 \le 0

x(x4)+3(x4)0|x| ( |x| - 4) + 3 (|x| - 4) \le 0

(x+3)(x4)0(|x|+ 3) (|x| - 4) \le 0

(x(3))(x4)0(|x|- (- 3)) (|x| - 4) \le 0

We can write the |x| as,

3x4 and x>0- 3\le |x| \le 4 \space and \space |x|>0

But |x| should not be negative and greater than 0


So, the solution would be,

0<x40< |x| \le 4
