Inequality challenge

80 Views Asked by At

I was studying inequations when I encountered this problem here.

How can I find a region of values for m where this inequation is true?

$$-3<\frac{x^2+mx-2}{x^2-x+1}>2$$

Thanks

you have to solve two polynomial equations.

It's obvious that $x^{2}-x+1>0$. Then the inequality becomes:

\begin{equation} -3x^{2}+3x-3<x^{2}+mx-2<2x^{2}-2x+1 \end{equation}

which is easy to solve, see for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function
