Use given functions to find all values of x that satisfy the required inequality?
f(x)=4x^2 g(x)=9x-2; f(x)< g(x)
----------------
4x^2 < 9x - 2
4x^2 - 9x + 2 < 0
4x^2 -8x -x + 2 < 0
(4x-1)(x-2) < 0
----------------------
Find the boundary values: x = 1/4 ; x = 2
----------------------
Draw a number line and plot x=1/4 and x = 2
------------
Check a test value in each resulting interval to see where the solution set is :
Let x= 0; then 4*0^2-9*0+2 < 0; false ; no solutions in (-inf,1/4)
---------------
Let x = 1; then 4*1^2-9*1+2 <0 ; true so solutions in (1/4,2)
---------------
Let x = 3; then 4*3^2 -9*3 + 2 < 0; false so no solutions in (2,+inf)
---------------------
Final Solution: (1/4,2)
