Can someone help me with this.

\(|x|^2 - x >0\)

I know we can substitute values and find. But I am looking for algebric solution.

Thanks chetan. Sorry I indeed mistyped the question. It is:

x^2 - |x| > 0

Can you please help solve this.

Thanks. Can you advise if the following approach is ok:

|x| < x^2

This means that either:

Case 1: x < x^2 (when x is positive)

Or

Case 2: -x < x^2 (when x is negative)

Case 1: x < x^2 (when x is positive)
x^2 - x > 0
x(x-1) > 0

Solutions of this:
x > 1
OR
x < 0

But x < 0 is not possible, because this case is for when x is positive (is this reasoning correct?)

So, the only solution is: x > 1


Case 2: -x < x^2 (when x is negative)
x^2 + x > 0
x(x+1) >0

Solutions of this:
x >0
OR
x < -1

But x > 0 is not possible, because this case is for when x is negative (is this reasoning correct?)

So, the only solution is: x < -1

Thank you very much for all your help.
