Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To prove that the greatest angle of the triangle with sides \( a = x^2 + x + 1 \), \( b = 2x + 1 \), and \( c = x^2 - 1 \) is \( 120^\circ \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Verify that all sides are positive We need to ensure that \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are all positive for the triangle inequality to hold. 1. **For side \( a \)**: \[ a = x^2 + x + 1 ...
