Answer:

Correct Answer: 47.($ x \in(-2,-1) \cup-\frac{2}{3},-\frac{1}{2} $)

Solution:

Formula:

Range of Quadratic Expression:

  1. Given,

$ \frac{2 x}{2 x^{2}+5 x+2}>\frac{1}{x+1} $

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{2 x}{(2 x+1)(x+2)}-\frac{1}{(x+1)}>0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2 x(x+1)-(2 x+1)(x+2)}{(2 x+1)(x+2)(x+1)}>0$ $\Rightarrow \quad \frac{-(3 x+2)}{(2 x+1)(x+1)(x+2)}>0$; using number line rule

$ \therefore \quad x \in(-2,-1) \cup (-\frac{2}{3},-\frac{1}{2}) $
