Aim of the Program
To discover the potential talent and
encourage them to lead a successful life
ahead. This initiative is to empower young
minds and help them to analyze their logical
thinking, critical problem-solving skills, and
general mathematical ability according to
the National level.

Intervals
Intervals are basically subsets of R and are commonly used in solving inequalities or
in finding domains. If there are two numbers a, b  R such that a < b, we can define
four types of intervals as follows:
Name Representation Description
Open (a, b) {x : a < x < b} i.e. end points are
Interval not included.
Close [a, b] {𝑥: 𝑎 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝑏} i.e. end points
Interval are also included. This is
possible only when both a and b
are finite.
Open-Closed (a, b] 𝑥: 𝑎 < 𝑥 ≤ 𝑏 i.e. a is excluded
Interval and b is included.
Close-Open [a, b) {𝑥: 𝑎 ≤ 𝑥 < 𝑏} i.e. a is included
Interval and b is excluded.
Intervals

(1) The infinite intervals are defined as follow:

(i) (a,  ) = {x : x > a}
(ii) [a , ) = {x : x  a}
(iii) (– , b) = {x : x < b}
(iv) (– , b] = {x : x  b}
(v) (– , ) = {x : x  R}
(2) x  {1, 2} denotes some particular values of x, i.e. x = 1, 2

(3) If there is no value of x, then we say x   (null set).

Cubic Equations

Suppose the inequation can be written as (x –c1)(x – c2)(x – c3) > 0, where c1<c2< c3

The solution set = (c1 , c2)  (c3, )

If the sign in the above inequations is ‘<’, then the solution set is (– , c1)  (c2 , c3)
Generalization

The solution set to the inequation –

(x –c1)(x –c2) ... (x –cn) > 0, where c1< c2 < ... cn is
The solution is : (c1 , c2)  (c3, c4)  …  (cn, ), is n is odd and (–, c1)  (c2 , c3) 
…  (cn, ), if n is even.

Note : -
Dealing with inequations in an immature manner leads to serious errors. The
consequences are generally
(1) Allowing fake solutions
(2) Discarding correct ones.
Solution of Rational Inequalities

Let 𝑦 = be an expression in x where f(x) & g(x) are polynomials in x. Now, if it is

given that y > 0 (or < 0 or  0 or  0), this calls for all the values of x for which y
satisfies the constraint.

This solution set can be found by

𝒙 𝒂𝟏 𝒏𝟏 𝒙 𝒂𝟐 𝒏𝟐 … 𝒙 𝒂𝒌 𝒏𝒌
Step-I: Factorize f(x) & g(x) and generate the form: 𝒀 = 𝒎𝒑
𝒙 𝒃𝟏 𝒎𝟏 𝒙 𝒃𝟐 𝒎𝟐 … 𝒙 𝒃𝒑
Wherer n1 n2 … nk, m1, m2 … mp are natural numbers and a1, a2 … ak, are
roots of f(x) = 0 & b1, b2, …. bp are roots of g(x) = 0.
Solution of Rational Inequalities

Step-II: Here y vanishes (becomes zero) for a1 , a2 , … , ak. These points are marked
on the number line with a black dot. They are solution of y = 0.
𝒇 𝒙
If 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟎, 𝒚 = attains an undefined form, hence b1, b2 … bk are
𝒈 𝒙
excluded from the solution.
These points are marked with dots.

E.g. 𝑓 𝑥 =
Solution of Rational Inequalities

Step-III: Check the value of y for any real number greater than the right most
marked number on the number line. If it is positive, then y is positive for all
the real number greater than the right most marked number and vice versa.

Step-IV: If the exponent of a factor is odd, then the point is called simple point
and if the exponent of a factor is even, then the point is called double point

E.g.
Here 1, 3, – 6 and 7 are simple point and – 2 & 0 are double points.
Solution of Rational Inequalities

From right to left, beginning above the number line (if y is positive in step 3
otherwise from below the line), a wavy curve should be drawn which passes
through all the marked points so that when passing through a simple point, the
curve intersects the number line and when passing through a double point, the
curve remains on the same side of number line.

E.g.

As exponents of (x + 2) and x are even, the curve does not cross the number
line. This method is called wavy curve method.
Solution of Rational Inequalities

Step-V: The intervals where the curve is above number line, y will be positive and
the intervals where the curve is below the number line, y will be negative.
The appropriate intervals are chosen in accordance with the sign of
inequality & their union represents the solution of inequality.
Solution of Rational Inequalities

(i) Points where denominator is zero will never be included in the answer.

(ii) If you are asked to find the intervals where f(x) is non-negative or non-
positive then make the intervals closed corresponding to the roots of the
numerator and let it remain open corresponding to the roots of
denominator.

(iii) Normally we cannot cross-multiply in inequalities. But we cross multiply if

we are sure that quantity in denominator is always positive.
Solution of Rational Inequalities

(iv) Normally we cannot square in inequalities. But we can square if we are sure
that both sides are non negative.

(v) we can multiply both sides with a negative number by changing the sign of
inequality.

(vi) We can add or subtract equal quantity to both sides of inequalities without
changing the sign of inequality.
