Without using a calculator, solve the inequality 4x+2≥x−3x\frac{4}{x+2} \ge \frac{x-3}{x}.
(b) Hence, solve the inequality 4∣x∣+2≥∣x∣−3∣x∣\frac{4}{|x|+2} \ge \frac{|x|-3}{|x|}.

Worked solution

(a)

1. 将不等式移项并通分化为单分式形式

移项得:
4x+2−x−3x≥0\frac{4}{x+2} - \frac{x-3}{x} \ge 0
通分化简分子:
4x−(x−3)(x+2)x(x+2)≥0\frac{4x - (x-3)(x+2)}{x(x+2)} \ge 0
4x−(x2−x−6)x(x+2)≥0\frac{4x - (x^2 - x - 6)}{x(x+2)} \ge 0
−x2+5x+6x(x+2)≥0\frac{-x^2 + 5x + 6}{x(x+2)} \ge 0
两边同乘 −1-1(注意不等号方向反转):
x2−5x−6x(x+2)≤0\frac{x^2 - 5x - 6}{x(x+2)} \le 0

2. 对分子因式分解并利用数轴或符号法则求出解集

分子因式分解得:
(x−6)(x+1)x(x+2)≤0\frac{(x-6)(x+1)}{x(x+2)} \le 0
其中分母不能为零,即 x≠−2x \ne -2 且 x≠0x \ne 0。
临界值按从小到大排列为:−2,−1,0,6-2, -1, 0, 6。
考查各区间的符号:

  • 当 x<−2x < -2 时,代数式为正;
  • 当 −2<x≤−1-2 < x \le -1 时,代数式为负或零,满足条件;
  • 当 −1<x<0-1 < x < 0 时,代数式为正;
  • 当 0<x≤60 < x \le 6 时,代数式为负或零,满足条件;
  • 当 x>6x > 6 时,代数式为正。

因此解集为 −2<x≤−1-2 < x \le -1 或 0<x≤60 < x \le 6。

Answer

−2<x≤−1-2 < x \le -1 或 0<x≤60 < x \le 6

(b)

1. 用 $|x|$ 替换 (a) 中的未知数 $x$,列出对应条件并求解

对比题 (a) 与题 (b),将 xx 替换为 ∣x∣|x|,由 (a) 的结果可得:
−2<∣x∣≤−1或0<∣x∣≤6-2 < |x| \le -1 \quad \text{或} \quad 0 < |x| \le 6
对于第一种情况:
因为对任意实数 xx,都有 ∣x∣≥0|x| \ge 0,所以 ∣x∣≤−1|x| \le -1 无解。

对于第二种情况:
0<∣x∣≤60 < |x| \le 6
由 ∣x∣>0|x| > 0 得 x≠0x \ne 0;
由 ∣x∣≤6|x| \le 6 得 −6≤x≤6-6 \le x \le 6。

综合得解为 −6≤x<0-6 \le x < 0 或 0<x≤60 < x \le 6(或记为 −6≤x≤6, x≠0-6 \le x \le 6,\ x \ne 0)。

Answer

−6≤x<0-6 \le x < 0 或 0<x≤60 < x \le 6(亦可写为 −6≤x≤6, x≠0-6 \le x \le 6,\ x \ne 0)
