The functions f(4x-3)≥f(2-x^2) and f(5-x^2)≥f(3x-5) are quadratic functions
The values of the inequalities are -5 ≤ x ≤ 1 and -5 ≤ x ≤ 2
How to solve the inequalities?
Inequality 1: f(4x - 3) ≥ f(2 - x^2), Df = (-8 , 4)
The function increases at (-8,4).
So, we have:
4x - 3 ≥ 2 - x^2
Rewrite as:
x^2 + 4x - 2 - 3 ≥ 0
Evaluate the like terms
x^2 + 4x - 5 ≥ 0
Expand
x^2 + 5x - x - 5 ≥ 0
Factorize the expression
x(x + 5) - 1(x + 5) ≥ 0
Factor out x + 5
(x - 1)(x + 5) ≥ 0
Solve for x
x ≥ 1 or x ≥ -5
Rewrite as:
-5 ≤ x ≤ 1
Inequality 2: f(5 - x^2) ≥ f(3x - 5), Df=(-∞,4)
The function decreases at (-∞,4).
So, we have:
5 - x^2 ≥ 3x - 5
Rewrite as:
x^2 + 3x - 5 - 5 ≤ 0
Evaluate the like terms
x^2 + 3x - 10 ≤ 0
Expand
x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 ≤ 0
Factorize the expression
x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) ≤ 0
Factor out x + 5
(x - 2)(x + 5) ≤ 0
Solve for x
x ≤ 2 or x ≤ -5
Rewrite as:
-5 ≤ x ≤ 2
Hence, the values of the inequalities are -5 ≤ x ≤ 1 and -5 ≤ x ≤ 2
