解答

解法一

思路

展开

因为 x2+1x^2+1 永远为正,可以安全地乘过去,不会改变不等号方向。绝对值小于 22 等价于同时满足小于 22 和大于 −2-2。

答题过程

Since

x2+1>0for all real x,\begin{align*} x^2+1>0 \qquad\text{for all real }x, \end{align*}

we can write

−2<x2+5x−2x2+1<2\begin{align*} -2 < \frac{x^2+5x-2}{x^2+1} < 2 \end{align*}

First,

x2+5x−2x2+1<2\begin{align*} \frac{x^2+5x-2}{x^2+1}<2 \end{align*}

gives

x2+5x−2< 2(x2+1)0< x2−5x+40< (x−1)(x−4)\begin{align*} x^2+5x-2 <&\,2(x^2+1)\\[3mm] 0 <&\,x^2-5x+4\\[3mm] 0 <&\,(x-1)(x-4) \end{align*}

So

x<1orx>4\begin{align*} x<1 \quad\text{or}\quad x>4 \end{align*}

Next,

x2+5x−2x2+1>−2\begin{align*} \frac{x^2+5x-2}{x^2+1}>-2 \end{align*}

gives

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

So

x<−53orx>0\begin{align*} x<-\frac53 \quad\text{or}\quad x>0 \end{align*}

Combining the two conditions,

x<−53,0<x<1,x>4\begin{align*} x<-\frac53, \qquad 0<x<1, \qquad x>4 \end{align*}

思路

也可以先找临界点,再用数轴判断符号。临界点来自分式等于 22 或 −2-2,这比直接平方后解四次式更清楚。

答题过程

The critical values occur when

x2+5x−2x2+1=2\begin{align*} \frac{x^2+5x-2}{x^2+1}=2 \end{align*}

or

x2+5x−2x2+1=−2\begin{align*} \frac{x^2+5x-2}{x^2+1}=-2 \end{align*}

Since x2+1>0x^2+1>0, these give

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

so

x=1,4\begin{align*} x=1,\quad 4 \end{align*}

and

x2+5x−2= −2(x2+1)3x2+5x= 0x(3x+5)= 0\begin{align*} x^2+5x-2 =&\,-2(x^2+1)\\[3mm] 3x^2+5x =&\,0\\[3mm] x(3x+5) =&\,0 \end{align*}

so

x=0,−53\begin{align*} x=0,\quad -\frac53 \end{align*}

Let F(x)=∣x2+5x−2x2+1∣−2F(x)=\Big|\dfrac{x^2+5x-2}{x^2+1}\Big|-2. Since x2+1>0x^2+1>0, there are no excluded real values of xx. The four zeros of FF are

−53,0,1,4\begin{align*} -\frac53,\quad 0,\quad 1,\quad 4 \end{align*}

Testing one value in each interval gives

x(−∞,−53)(−53,0)(0,1)(1,4)(4,∞)test value−2−11225F(x)−+−+−\begin{align*} \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x&(-\infty,-\frac53)&(-\frac53,0)&(0,1)&(1,4)&(4,\infty)\\ \text{test value}&-2&-1&\frac12&2&5\\\hline F(x)&-&+&-&+&- \end{array} \end{align*}

Hence F(x)<0F(x)<0 on

x<−53,0<x<1,x>4\begin{align*} \boxed{ x<-\frac53,\quad 0<x<1,\quad x>4 } \end{align*}

解法三

思路

展开

分母恒正,可以先乘过去。两边都是非负数,再平方并移项,利用平方差公式分解,便能把四次不等式化为四个一次因子的符号判断。

答题过程

展开

Since x2+1>0x^2+1>0 for every real xx,

∣x2+5x−2x2+1∣<2⟺∣x2+5x−2∣<2(x2+1)\begin{align*} \Big|\frac{x^2+5x-2}{x^2+1}\Big|<2 \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad |x^2+5x-2|<2(x^2+1) \end{align*}

Both sides are non-negative, so squaring preserves the inequality. Thus

4(x2+1)2−(x2+5x−2)2> 0\begin{align*} 4(x^2+1)^2-(x^2+5x-2)^2 >&\,0 \end{align*}

Using the difference of two squares,

 [2(x2+1)−(x2+5x−2)] ×[2(x2+1)+(x2+5x−2)]>0 (x2−5x+4)(3x2+5x)>0 (x−1)(x−4)x(3x+5)>0\begin{align*} &\,\big[2(x^2+1)-(x^2+5x-2)\big]\\[2mm] &\,\hspace{2pt}\times\big[2(x^2+1)+(x^2+5x-2)\big]>0\\[4mm] &\,(x^2-5x+4)(3x^2+5x)>0\\[4mm] &\,(x-1)(x-4)x(3x+5)>0 \end{align*}

The four simple roots are −53,0,1,4-\dfrac53,0,1,4. The leading coefficient is positive, so the product has signs

x(−∞,−53)(−53,0)(0,1)(1,4)(4,∞)product+−+−+\begin{align*} \begin{array}{c|ccccc} x&(-\infty,-\frac53)&(-\frac53,0)&(0,1)&(1,4)&(4,\infty)\\\hline \text{product}&+&-&+&-&+ \end{array} \end{align*}

Therefore

x<−53or0<x<1orx>4\begin{align*} x<-\frac53\quad\text{or}\quad0<x<1\quad\text{or}\quad x>4 \end{align*}
