1. Solve the rational inequality from the previous part
Let u be the variable in the original inequality.
u2+2u−811u−19−2≤0
(u+4)(u−2)11u−19−2(u2+2u−8)≤0
(u+4)(u−2)−2u2+7u−3≤0
(u+4)(u−2)2u2−7u+3≥0
(u+4)(u−2)(2u−1)(u−3)≥0
Finding the critical values u=−4,21,2,3 and testing intervals gives:
u<−4or21≤u<2oru≥3
2. Apply the substitution $u = e^{-x}$ and discard the invalid range
Substitute u=e−x into the solution ranges:
e−x<−4or21≤e−x<2ore−x≥3
Since e−x>0 for all real x, the inequality e−x<−4 has no real solution.
3. Solve the remaining exponential inequalities exactly
For 21≤e−x<2:
Take the natural logarithm on all parts:
ln(21)≤−x<ln2
−ln2≤−x<ln2
Multiply by −1 and reverse the inequality signs:
−ln2<x≤ln2
For e−x≥3:
−x≥ln3
x≤−ln3
Combining the valid intervals gives the final exact solution.
答案x≤−ln3 or −ln2<x≤ln2
