Answer» Given : \(\frac{3}{{\text{x}}-2}<2\), x ∈ R Subtracting 2 from both the sides in the above equation, \(\frac{3}{{\text{x}}-2}-2\)<2-2 \(\frac{3-2({\text{x}}-2)}{{\text{x}}-2}<0\) \(\frac{3-2{\text{x}}+4}{{\text{x}}-2}\) <0 \(\frac{7-2{\text{x}}}{{\text{x}}-2} <0\) Signs of 7 – 2x: 7 - 2x = 0 → x = \(\frac{7}{2}\) (Subtracting by 7 on both the sides, then multiplying by -1 on both the sides and then dividing both the sides by 2) 7 - 2x < 0 → x > \(\frac{7}{2}\) (Subtracting by 7 on both the sides, then multiplying by -1 on both the sides and then dividing both the sides by 2) 7 – 2x > 0 → x < \(\frac{7}{2}\) (Subtracting by 7 on both the sides, then multiplying by -1 on both the sides and then dividing both the sides by 2) Signs of x – 2: x – 2 = 0 → x = 2 (Adding 2 on both the sides) x – 2 < 0 → x < 2 (Adding 2 on both the sides) x – 2 > 0 → x > 2 (Adding 2 on both the sides) Zeroes of denominator: x – 2 = 0 → x = 2 At x = 2, \(\frac{7-2{\text{x}}}{{\text{x}}-2} \) is not defined intervals satisfying the condition: <0 x<2 and x > \(\frac{7}{2}\) Therefore, x ∈ (-∞,2) U \(\big(\frac{7}{2}, ∞\big)\) |
