To determine the elements of the set, we'll sove the
inequality.
For this purpose, will solve first the
equation:
x^2 - 13x/3 - 10/3 =
0
3x^2 - 13x - 10 = 0
After
finding the roots of the equation, we could write the expression in a factored form
as:
3(x-x1)(x-x2)>0
So,
let's apply the quadratic formula to calculate the
roots:
x1 =
[13+sqrt(169-120)]/6
x1 =
(13+sqrt49)/6
x1 =
(13+7)/6
x1 =
10/3
x2 =
(13-7)/6
x2 =
6/6
x2 =
1
The inequality will be written
as:
3(x - 10/3)(x - 1) >
0
We'll divide by 3, both
sides:
(x - 10/3)(x - 1) >
0
Now, we'll discuss the
inequality:
- the product is positive if the factors are
both positive:
x -
10/3>0
We'll add 10/3 both
sides:
x >
10/3
and
x - 1 >
0
We'll add 1 both sides:
x
> 1
So, x belongs to the interval (10/3 ,
+inf.)
- the product is positive if the factors are both
negative:
x - 10/3 <
0
We'll add 10/3 both sides:
x
< 10/3
x - 1 <
0
We'll add 1 both sides:
x
< 1
So, x belongs to the interval (
-inf.,1)
Finally, the solution set of the inequality is the
union of the sets above:
( -inf.,1) U (10/3
, +inf.)
So, the set A is the
union of intervals:
A =
{( -inf.,1) U (10/3 ,
+inf.)}
