The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( |x-1| + |x-2| + |x-3| > 6 \), we will analyze the expression by considering different intervals based on the critical points where the absolute values change, which are \( x = 1 \), \( x = 2 \), and \( x = 3 \). ### Step 1: Identify the intervals The critical points divide the number line into four intervals: 1. \( (-\infty, 1) \) 2. \( [1, 2) \) 3. \( [2, 3) \) 4. \( [3, \infty) \) ### Step 2: Analyze each interval **Interval 1: \( x < 1 \)** - Here, \( |x-1| = 1-x \), \( |x-2| = 2-x \), \( |x-3| = 3-x \). - Therefore, the inequality becomes: \[ (1-x) + (2-x) + (3-x) > 6 \] Simplifying this: \[ 6 - 3x > 6 \implies -3x > 0 \implies x < 0 \] - Thus, for this interval, we have \( x \in (-\infty, 0) \). **Interval 2: \( 1 \leq x < 2 \)** - Here, \( |x-1| = x-1 \), \( |x-2| = 2-x \), \( |x-3| = 3-x \). - The inequality becomes: \[ (x-1) + (2-x) + (3-x) > 6 \] Simplifying this: \[ 4 - x > 6 \implies -x > 2 \implies x < -2 \] - However, this is not possible in the interval \( [1, 2) \). Thus, there are no solutions in this interval. **Interval 3: \( 2 \leq x < 3 \)** - Here, \( |x-1| = x-1 \), \( |x-2| = x-2 \), \( |x-3| = 3-x \). - The inequality becomes: \[ (x-1) + (x-2) + (3-x) > 6 \] Simplifying this: \[ x > 6 \implies \text{no solutions in this interval.} \] **Interval 4: \( x \geq 3 \)** - Here, \( |x-1| = x-1 \), \( |x-2| = x-2 \), \( |x-3| = x-3 \). - The inequality becomes: \[ (x-1) + (x-2) + (x-3) > 6 \] Simplifying this: \[ 3x - 6 > 6 \implies 3x > 12 \implies x > 4 \] - Thus, for this interval, we have \( x \in (4, \infty) \). ### Step 3: Combine the results From our analysis, we found: - From interval 1: \( x \in (-\infty, 0) \) - From interval 4: \( x \in (4, \infty) \) Therefore, the solution to the inequality \( |x-1| + |x-2| + |x-3| > 6 \) is: \[ x \in (-\infty, 0) \cup (4, \infty) \] ### Conclusion Among the options provided, the correct answer is: - iii) \( x \in (4, \infty) \)
