The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \(\frac{|x+3| + x}{x+2} > 1\), we will break it down into manageable steps. ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inequality We start with the given inequality: \[ \frac{|x+3| + x}{x+2} > 1 \] Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ \frac{|x+3| + x}{x+2} - 1 > 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{|x+3| + x - (x + 2)}{x+2} > 0 \] Simplifying the numerator gives: \[ \frac{|x+3| - 2}{x+2} > 0 \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Absolute Value Next, we consider two cases based on the expression inside the absolute value, \(x + 3\). **Case 1:** \(x + 3 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq -3\) In this case, \(|x + 3| = x + 3\). Substitute this into the inequality: \[ \frac{(x + 3) - 2}{x + 2} > 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{x + 1}{x + 2} > 0 \] **Case 2:** \(x + 3 < 0 \Rightarrow x < -3\) Here, \(|x + 3| = -(x + 3) = -x - 3\). Substitute this into the inequality: \[ \frac{(-x - 3) - 2}{x + 2} > 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{-x - 5}{x + 2} > 0 \] We can multiply both sides by -1 (which flips the inequality): \[ \frac{x + 5}{x + 2} < 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve Each Case **For Case 1:** \(\frac{x + 1}{x + 2} > 0\) The critical points are \(x = -1\) and \(x = -2\). We test intervals: - For \(x < -2\): Both numerator and denominator are negative, so the fraction is positive. - For \(-2 < x < -1\): The numerator is negative and the denominator is positive, so the fraction is negative. - For \(x > -1\): Both numerator and denominator are positive, so the fraction is positive. Thus, the solution for Case 1 is: \[ x \in (-\infty, -2) \cup (-1, \infty) \] However, we must also satisfy \(x \geq -3\), so we restrict this to: \[ x \in [-3, -2) \cup (-1, \infty) \] **For Case 2:** \(\frac{x + 5}{x + 2} < 0\) The critical points are \(x = -5\) and \(x = -2\). We test intervals: - For \(x < -5\): Both numerator and denominator are negative, so the fraction is positive. - For \(-5 < x < -2\): The numerator is positive and the denominator is negative, so the fraction is negative. - For \(x > -2\): Both numerator and denominator are positive, so the fraction is positive. Thus, the solution for Case 2 is: \[ x \in (-5, -2) \] And since we need \(x < -3\), we restrict this to: \[ x \in (-5, -3) \] ### Step 4: Combine the Solutions Now, we combine the solutions from both cases: 1. From Case 1: \(x \in [-3, -2) \cup (-1, \infty)\) 2. From Case 2: \(x \in (-5, -3)\) Combining these gives: \[ x \in (-5, -2) \cup (-1, \infty) \] ### Final Answer The solution set of the inequation \(\frac{|x+3| + x}{x+2} > 1\) is: \[ \boxed{(-5, -2) \cup (-1, \infty)} \]

To solve the inequality \(\frac{|x+3| + x}{x+2} > 1\), we will break it down into manageable steps. ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inequality We start with the given inequality: \[ \frac{|x+3| + x}{x+2} > 1 \] Subtract 1 from both sides: ...
