What values satisfy this equation: ((2x-7)/(x3+3))<(9/x)<=x²-5x+9?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving the inequality ((2x-7)/(x^3+3))<(9/x)<=x²-5x+9. Participants emphasize the importance of correctly interpreting the "<=" as "and =". The challenge lies in finding values for x that satisfy the condition (9/x)<=x²-5x+9, with suggestions to multiply through by x² to simplify the problem. The quartic equation resulting from this manipulation can be factored using the rational root theorem. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for clarity in problem presentation and the importance of showing work in math-related inquiries.

Excuse me for my english;

Decide for all the x so this works out; ((2x-7)/(x3+3))<(9/x)<=x²-5x+9

where "<=" is the same as "and =".

Having some troubles getting the right values between (9/x)<=x²-5x+9, but otherwise it's fine..

hope you can help me!

For future reference, please use the layout given to you when starting a thread in the homework help section, particularly the "attempt at a solution" part.

To find where x^2-5x+9\geq 9/x if you multiply through by x2 (a positive number for all real non-zero x) you will end up with a quartic that can be factorized easily using the rational root theorem. It should be easy from there where it's greater than zero.
 
Sorry about that Mentallic. I moved his thread to Homework Help from a general math forum, and asked him to post more of his work. I should have posted a note here as well.
 
Oh, no problem :smile:
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
