Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

(x+2)(x2+3x+5)−2+3x−x2≥0{{(x + 2)({x^2} + 3x + 5)} \over { - 2 + 3x - {x^2}}} \ge 0

x2+3x+5{x^2} + 3x + 5 is a quadratic equation

a = 1 > 0 and D = {( - 3)^2} - 4\,.\,1\,.\,5 = - 11 < 0

∴\therefore {x^2} + 3x + 5 > 0 (always)

So, we can ignore this quadratic term

(x+2)−2+3x−x2≥0{{(x + 2)} \over { - 2 + 3x - {x^2}}} \ge 0

⇒x+2−(x2−3x+2)≥0\Rightarrow {{x + 2} \over { - ({x^2} - 3x + 2)}} \ge 0

⇒x+2x2−3x+2≤0\Rightarrow {{x + 2} \over {{x^2} - 3x + 2}} \le 0

⇒x+2x2−2x−x+2≤0\Rightarrow {{x + 2} \over {{x^2} - 2x - x + 2}} \le 0

⇒x+2(x−1)(x−2)≤0\Rightarrow {{x + 2} \over {(x - 1)(x - 2)}} \le 0

∴\therefore x∈(−α,−2]∪(1,2)x \in ( - \alpha , - 2] \cup (1,2)

∴\therefore S1=(−α,−2]∪(1,2){S_1} = ( - \alpha , - 2] \cup (1,2)

Now,

32x−3x+1−3x+2+27≤0{3^{2x}} - {3^{x + 1}} - {3^{x + 2}} + 27 \le 0

⇒(3x)2−3 . 3x−32 . 3x+27≤0\Rightarrow {({3^x})^2} - 3\,.\,{3^x} - {3^2}\,.\,{3^x} + 27 \le 0

Let 3x=t{3^x} = t

⇒t2−3 . t−32 . t+27≤0\Rightarrow {t^2} - 3\,.\,t - {3^2}\,.\,t + 27 \le 0

⇒t(t−3)−9(t−3)≤0\Rightarrow t(t - 3) - 9(t - 3) \le 0

⇒(t−3)(t−9)≤0\Rightarrow (t - 3)(t - 9) \le 0

∴\therefore 3≤t≤93 \le t \le 9

⇒31≤3x≤32\Rightarrow {3^1} \le {3^x} \le {3^2}

⇒1≤x≤2\Rightarrow 1 \le x \le 2

∴\therefore x∈[1,2]x \in [1,2]

∴\therefore S2=[1,2]{S_2} = [1,2]

∴\therefore S1∪S2=(−α,2]∪(1,2)∪[1,2]{S_1} \cup {S_2} = ( - \alpha ,2] \cup (1,2) \cup [1,2]

=(−α,2]∪[1,2]= ( - \alpha ,2] \cup [1,2]
