The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \[ \frac{1}{x^2 + x} \leq \frac{1}{2x^2 + 2x + 3}, \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearranging the Inequality First, we can rearrange the inequality by moving all terms to one side: \[ \frac{1}{2x^2 + 2x + 3} - \frac{1}{x^2 + x} \geq 0. \] ### Step 2: Finding a Common Denominator Next, we find a common denominator for the fractions: \[ \frac{(x^2 + x) - (2x^2 + 2x + 3)}{(2x^2 + 2x + 3)(x^2 + x)} \geq 0. \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the Numerator Now, simplify the numerator: \[ x^2 + x - (2x^2 + 2x + 3) = x^2 + x - 2x^2 - 2x - 3 = -x^2 - x - 3. \] So, we can rewrite the inequality as: \[ \frac{-x^2 - x - 3}{(2x^2 + 2x + 3)(x^2 + x)} \geq 0. \] ### Step 4: Factoring the Numerator Next, we factor the numerator. The expression \(-x^2 - x - 3\) can be rewritten as: \[ -(x^2 + x + 3). \] ### Step 5: Analyzing the Denominator Now, we analyze the denominator: 1. \(2x^2 + 2x + 3\) is always positive since its discriminant \(b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 4 - 24 < 0\). 2. \(x^2 + x\) is zero at \(x = 0\) and \(x = -1\), and it is positive for \(x < -1\) and \(x > 0\). ### Step 6: Finding the Roots of the Numerator Now, we need to find the roots of the numerator \(x^2 + x + 3 = 0\): The discriminant is \(b^2 - 4ac = 1^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 = 1 - 12 < 0\), which means the quadratic does not have real roots and is always positive. ### Step 7: Analyzing the Sign of the Expression Since the numerator \(- (x^2 + x + 3)\) is always negative and the denominator is positive except at the points \(x = 0\) and \(x = -1\), we can conclude: - The entire expression is negative for \(x < -1\) and \(x > 0\). - The expression is undefined at \(x = 0\) and \(x = -1\). ### Step 8: Conclusion The solution to the inequality is: \[ x \in (-1, 0). \]
