解答

解法一

思路

展开

题目要求用代数。分母 x+2x+2 的正负不固定,所以不要直接两边同乘。更稳妥的做法是移到同一边,通分后用临界点做符号分析。

答题过程

展开

Start with

1x+2>2x+3\begin{align*} \frac{1}{x+2}>2x+3 \end{align*}

Bring all terms to the left-hand side:

1x+2−(2x+3)> 01−(2x+3)(x+2)x+2> 0\begin{align*} \frac{1}{x+2}-(2x+3)>&\,0\\[4mm] \frac{1-(2x+3)(x+2)}{x+2}>&\,0 \end{align*}

Expand the numerator:

1−(2x+3)(x+2)= 1−(2x2+7x+6)= −2x2−7x−5= −(2x+5)(x+1)\begin{align*} 1-(2x+3)(x+2) =&\,1-(2x^2+7x+6)\\[4mm] =&\,-2x^2-7x-5\\[4mm] =&\,-(2x+5)(x+1) \end{align*}

So

−(2x+5)(x+1)x+2> 0(2x+5)(x+1)x+2< 0\begin{align*} \frac{-(2x+5)(x+1)}{x+2}>&\,0\\[4mm] \frac{(2x+5)(x+1)}{x+2}<&\,0 \end{align*}

The critical values are

x=−52,x=−2,x=−1\begin{align*} x=-\frac52,\qquad x=-2,\qquad x=-1 \end{align*}

Check the sign of (2x+5)(x+1)x+2\frac{(2x+5)(x+1)}{x+2}:

intervalsignx<−52−−52<x<−2+−2<x<−1−x>−1+\begin{array}{c|c} \text{interval}&\text{sign}\\ \hline x<-\frac52&-\\ -\frac52<x<-2&+\\ -2<x<-1&-\\ x>-1&+ \end{array}

We need the expression to be negative. Since the original expression is undefined at x=−2x=-2, and the inequality is strict, the solution is

x<−52or−2<x<−1\begin{align*} \boxed{x<-\frac52\quad\text{or}\quad -2<x<-1} \end{align*}

解法二

思路

展开

因为分母 x+2x+2 的正负号决定了不等号是否需要翻转,所以可以直接在不等式两边同乘分母的平方 (x+2)2(x+2)^2(因为 x≠−2x \ne -2,所以 (x+2)2(x+2)^2 恒正)。如此一来可以避免分区间讨论,直接将原分式不等式化简为三次整式不等式,提取公因式后求解。

Since x≠−2x \ne -2, the term (x+2)2(x+2)^2 is strictly positive. Multiply both sides of the inequality by (x+2)2(x+2)^2:

1x+2> 2x+3(x+2)> (2x+3)(x+2)2\begin{align*} \frac{1}{x+2} >&\, 2x+3\\[3mm] (x+2) >&\, (2x+3)(x+2)^2 \end{align*}

Move all terms to one side:

(x+2)−(2x+3)(x+2)2> 0\begin{align*} (x+2) - (2x+3)(x+2)^2 >&\, 0 \end{align*}

Factor out the common term (x+2)(x+2):

(x+2)[1−(2x+3)(x+2)]> 0(x+2)[1−(2x2+7x+6)]> 0(x+2)(−2x2−7x−5)> 0−(x+2)(2x+5)(x+1)> 0(x+2)(2x+5)(x+1)< 0\begin{align*} (x+2)\bigg[ 1 - (2x+3)(x+2) \bigg] >&\, 0\\[4mm] (x+2)\bigg[ 1 - (2x^2+7x+6) \bigg] >&\, 0\\[4mm] (x+2)\bigg( -2x^2-7x-5 \bigg) >&\, 0\\[4mm] -(x+2)(2x+5)(x+1) >&\, 0\\[4mm] (x+2)(2x+5)(x+1) <&\, 0 \end{align*}

The critical values are:

x=−52,x=−2,x=−1\begin{align*} x = -\frac52,\quad x = -2,\quad x = -1 \end{align*}

By testing the intervals (or using a sign chart), the product is negative on:

x<−52or−2<x<−1\begin{align*} \boxed{x<-\frac52\quad\text{or}\quad -2<x<-1} \end{align*}
