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