# Inequalities

In mathematics, the inequality relation is one of the fundamental building blocks for inequalities. It deals with the mathematical comparison of two elements, and it serves as a key to understanding why numbers behave the way they do. Inequalities allow us to describe sets of numbers and the relationship between those numbers.

Without using a calculator

(i)

Solve the inequality $\frac{2{{x}^{2}}+5x+9}{x-7}\le x-4$.

[4]

(i) Solve the inequality $\frac{2{{x}^{2}}+5x+9}{x-7}\le x-4$.

[4]

(ii)

Hence, solve the inequality $\frac{2+5{{e}^{x}}+9{{e}^{2x}}}{7{{e}^{x}}-1}\ge 4{{e}^{x}}-1$.

[2]

[3]

(i) Without using a calculator, solve the inequality $\frac{x+6}{{{x}^{2}}-3x-4}\le \frac{1}{4-x}$.

[3]

(ii)

Hence, deduce the range of values of $x$ that satisfies

$\frac{\left| x \right|+6}{{{x}^{2}}-3\left| x \right|-4}\le \frac{1}{4-\left| x \right|}$.

[2]

(ii) Hence, deduce the range of values of $x$ that satisfies

$\frac{\left| x \right|+6}{{{x}^{2}}-3\left| x \right|-4}\le \frac{1}{4-\left| x \right|}$.

[2]

(b)

Solve the inequality $\ln \left( x+6 \right)\le -\frac{x}{3}$.

[3]

(b) Solve the inequality $\ln \left( x+6 \right)\le -\frac{x}{3}$.

Without using a calculator, solve

$x<\frac{3}{x-2}$.

[3]

Hence solve

${{\text{e}}^{-x}}<\frac{3}{{{\text{e}}^{-x}}-2}$.
