The set of all real numbers satisfying the inequation $x^2-|x+2|+x>0$ is

The set of all real numbers satisfying the inequation $x^2-|x+2|+x>0$ is
  1. $[-2,-\sqrt{2}) \cup(\sqrt{2}, \infty)$
  2. $(-\infty,-2) \cup(2, \infty)$
  3. $(-\infty,-\sqrt{2}) \cup(\sqrt{2}, \infty)$
  4. $(-\infty,-2) \cup(\sqrt{2}, \infty)$

Solution

$x^2-|x+2|+x>0$ Case I If $x+2 \geq 0$ $ \begin{aligned} & x^2-(x+2)+x>0 \quad\left\{\because|x|=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x, & x \geq 0 \\ -x, & x < 0 \end{array}\right\}\right. \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x^2-2>0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad(x-\sqrt{2})(x+\sqrt{2})=0 \\ & \frac{+}{-2-\sqrt{2} \quad \sqrt{2}} \\ & x \in[-2,-\sqrt{2}] \cup[\sqrt{2}, \infty] \\ & \end{aligned} $ Case II $x+2 < 0$ $ \begin{aligned} & x^2+(x+2)+x>0 \\ \Rightarrow & x^2+2 x+2>0 \\ \Rightarrow & (x+1)^2+1>0 \Rightarrow x < -2 \end{aligned} $ Hence, the solution set is $ x \in(-\infty,-\sqrt{2}) \cup(\sqrt{2}, \infty) $
