Solve x >sqrt((1-x))...

Solve `x >sqrt((1-x))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given inequality can be solved by squaring both sides.
But sometimes squaring gives extraneous solutions which do not satisfy the original inequality. Before squaring we must restrict x for which terms in the given inequality are well defined.
`x gt sqrt((1-x))`. Here x must be positive.
Now, `sqrt(1-x)` is defined only when `1-x ge 0 " or " x le 1`
Thus `0 le x le 1 " " ` (1)
Squaring given inequality both sides, `x^(2) gt 1 -x`
` implies x^(2) +x-1 gt 0`
`implies (x-(-1-sqrt(5))/(2))(x-(-1+sqrt(5))/(2)) gt 0`

`implies x lt (-1-sqrt(5))/(2) " or "x gt (-1+sqrt(5))/(2) " " ` (2)
From (1) and (2), `x in ((sqrt(5)-1)/(2),1]`
