Yes, this is a neat little way to work with inequalities where factors are multiplied or divided. And, it has a solid reasoning behind it which I will just explain.

If (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)(x-d) < 0, we can draw the points a, b, c and d on the number line.
e.g. Given (x+2)(x-1)(x-7)(x-4) < 0, draw the points -2, 1, 7 and 4 on the number line as shown.

This divides the number line into 5 regions. Values of x in right most region will always give you positive value of the expression. The reason for this is that if x > 7, all factors above will be positive.

When you jump to the next region between x = 4 and x = 7, value of x here give you negative value for the entire expression because now, (x - 7) will be negative since x < 7 in this region. All other factors are still positive.

When you jump to the next region on the left between x = 1 and x = 4, expression will be positive again because now two factors (x - 7) and (x - 4) are negative, but negative x negative is positive... and so on till you reach the leftmost section.

Since we are looking for values of x where the expression is < 0, here the solution will be -2 < x < 1 or 4< x < 7

It should be obvious that it will also work in cases where factors are divided.
e.g. (x - a)(x - b)/(x - c)(x - d) < 0
(x + 2)(x - 1)/(x -4)(x - 7) < 0 will have exactly the same solution as above.

Note: If, rather than < or > sign, you have <= or >=, in division, the solution will differ slightly. I will leave it for you to figure out why and how. Feel free to get back to me if you want to confirm your conclusion.



can we do modulus questions with the help of this method?

Also please suggest when we decide to take the + ve curve values or -ve values.

This method is only for inequalities with factors such that they are of the form (x-a). You should check out the links of the 3 posts I have given in my post above. They discuss the theory in detail and tell you why the regions are positive or negative. Also, they tell you how to handle complications such as factors of the form (a - x) or (ax + b) etc. When you have all factors of the form (x-a) (or when you convert them to this form), the rightmost region is always positive.

To solve absolute value questions you have a few different methods that you can use.

Hi Karishma

Thanks for your valuable tips.
Can you explain the logic when the expression has a denominator or when factors are divided. I did read the solution given below, but can you please explain the logic?
Or if you can share a link in which you have explained expressions with denominators, I would be grateful
Thanks :)

Its good if you guys use it 1-2 times to get used to it.

Suppose you have the inequality

f(x) = (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)(x-d) < 0

Just arrange them in order as shown in the picture and draw curve starting from + from right.

now if f(x) < 0 consider curve having "-" inside and if f(x) > 0 consider curve having "+" and combined solution will be the final solution. I m sure I have recalled it fully but if you guys find any issue on that do let me know, this is very helpful.

Don't forget to arrange then in ascending order from left to right. a<b<c<d

So for f(x) < 0 consider "-" curves and the ans is : (a < x < b) , (c < x < d)
and for f(x) > 0 consider "+" curves and the ans is : (x < a), (b < x < c) , (d < x)

If f(x) has three factors then the graph will have - + - +
If f(x) has four factors then the graph will have + - + - +

If you can not figure out how and why, just remember it.
Try to analyze that the function will have number of roots = number of factors and every time the graph will touch the x axis.

For the highest factor d if x>d then the whole f(x) > 0 and after every interval of the roots the signs will change alternatively.



Hi
Could you please explain this question to me with this logic?

The explanation at (range-for-variable-x-in-a-given-inequality-109468.html ) starts with - + - + logic instead of + - + - as advised above....

There are two methods to go about it. Either decide whether the rightmost region is positive or negative depending on your factors or ALWAYS take rightmost region to be positive and adjust your factors accordingly i.e. bring all factors to the form (x-a). The second method is discussed in detail in the links given here: inequalities-trick-91482-60.html#p1358533

Given inequality:

\(\frac{(x + 2)(x - 1)}{(x -4)(x - 7)} <= 0\)

What happens if we put x = 4? We get
\(\frac{(x + 2)(x - 1)}{(4 -4)(x - 7)} <= 0\)
\(\frac{(x + 2)(x - 1)}{0} <= 0\)

Division by 0 is not defined. So x cannot be 4 and neither can it be 7.

Draw the diagram. x^2 is a quadratic with minimum at (0, 0). To get x^2 - 4, move the curve down 4 units on the y axis. Take the mod by flipping whatever is below x axis to its reflection above x axis.

Ques3.jpg
Ques3.jpg [ 15.92 KiB | Viewed 9683 times ]

Before the first intersection of the line 3x with the hump of |x^2 - 4|, |x^2 - 4| is greater.
After this intersection, the line 3x is greater. Note that 3x will intersect the curve again and after that, |x^2 - 4| will again be greater than 3x. So all we need to do is find the intersections.
To get first point of intersection:
-(x^2 - 4) = 3x
x^2 + 3x -4 = 0
x = 1, -4

To get second point of intersection:
x^2 - 4 = 3x
x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0
x = 4, -1

Ignore negative x values since our intersections are in first quadrant only.
Between x = 1 and x = 4, 3x is greater than |x^2 - 4|. But when x < 1 or x > 4, |x^2 - 4| > 3x.

For statement I

(1) (1-2x)(1+x)<0

Once you get this into the req form

2 (x-1/2) (x+1) > 0

sol +++++ -1 ------ 1/2 +++++
As Karishma pointed out ponce in the req form, the rightmost will always be positive and the alternating will happen from there.

So sol for this x> 1/2 and x<-1

Integers greater than 1/2 and less than -1 , thus |x| may be >= 1. Unsure

Thus Insufficient.

For Statement II

(2) (1-x)(1+2x)<0

Once you get this into the req form

2(x+1/2) (x-1) > 0

sol +++++ -1/2 ------ 1 +++++

So sol for this x>1 and x< -1/2

Integers greater than 1 and less than -1/2 , thus |x| may be >= 1. Unsure

Thus Insufficient.

Combining Both the statements

x<-1 and x>1

Thus Integers for this range will give |x| > 1

Thus Sufficient.

Hope this helps. I am not very confident of my solution though. Its my first solution gmatclub


Responding to a pm:

Yes, on the whole, the solution is fine.

A couple of things:

Question: Is |x| > 1?
Rewrite: Is x>1 or x<-1?
x is an integer.


"So sol for this x> 1/2 and x<-1 " should be "So sol for this x> 1/2 OR x<-1 "
x cannot be both greater than 1/2 AND less than -1. It will be only one of those two.

x could be 1 here so you are right that this statement alone is not sufficient.

Similar analysis for statement 2 too.

Both together, we get that x > 1 or x < -1 so sufficient together.

Re: Inequalities trick [#permalink]
I had read this post a while ago, and not heeded the advice (i thought it was beyond my understanding). But I came across quite a few questions where this could be used (links that I saw in the discreet charm of DS post), and realized knowing this could be blessing.
But to make sure i understood right, here's a paraphrase:
In cases of inequality regarding factors of a function, in terms of zero and depending on the sign of inequality, a few shortcuts (of which, the logic has been explained by veritasprepkarishma) can be employed.
The roots of the inequality, once arranged in the ascending order, maybe on a number line even, can be assigned + and - signs by starting from + in the right most portion of the line(which is open-ended), alternating between +and - till the last portion (i.e. the left most one)
Now, here is where the sign '<'/'>' matters: if the sign is < then I am to consider the ranges where the - sign lies (set by the roots marking such a range) and if the sign is > then i am to consider ranges that contain + sign.
-Is this correct?
-This applies only for inequalities of zero, right?
-Also, in the "now if f(x) < 0 consider curve having "-" inside and if f(x) > 0 consider curve having "+" and combined solution will be the final solution.....", what should I combine? I don't think we are talking about combining + and - here, are we? Am I to combine the ranges and place the variable(in this case 'x') in this range?

Yes, but remember, the factors of the inequality should be of the form (ax-b), (cx-d) etc. If they are not in this form, convert them to this form using the techniques explained in the links given here: inequalities-trick-91482-60.html#p1265455

Yes, but you will be able to bring most GMAT inequalities in the 'zero on the right hand side' form.

When (ax-b) is NOT the form, convert it to such a form, and the root will be b/a. Got it.
And no. I was referring to this post itself. I mean, the first post of this thread.

Yes, you will take the constant a out and will be left with (x - b/a) as a factor.
Also, if a factor is (b - x), multiply both sides by -1 to get (x - b). The inequality sign will flip in this case.
These and more complications are discussed in the links mentioned in my post above.

You combine all the + ranges in case of f(x) > 0 to get the possible values of x.

In case of f(x) < 0, you combine all - ranges together to get the possible value of x.

If you combine all + and - ranges together, you will get the entire number line. That wouldn't make sense, now would it?
