Tìm x biết (x+1).(x-3) < 0

a,

\(\left(x+1\right)\left(x-3\right)< 0\)

\(\Rightarrow x+1\text{ và }x-3\text{ khác dấu và }x+1\ne0,x-3\ne0\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x\ne-1\\x\ne3\end{matrix}\right.\)

\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x+1>0\\x-3< 0\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x>1\\x< 3\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow1< x< 3\\\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x+1< 0\\x-3>0\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x< -1\\x>3\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow\text{mâu thuẫn}\end{matrix}\right.\)

Vậy \(1< x< 3\) thì \(\left(x+1\right)\left(x-3\right)< 0\)

b,

\(\dfrac{x+1}{x-4}>0\)

\(\Rightarrow x+1\text{ và }x-4\text{ cùng dấu và }x+1\ne0,x-4\ne0\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x\ne-1\\x\ne4\end{matrix}\right.\)

\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x+1>0\\x-4>0\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x>-1\\x>4\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow x>4\\\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x+1< 0\\x-4< 0\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x< -1\\x< 4\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow x< -1\end{matrix}\right.\)

Vậy khi \(x>4\) hoặc \(x< -1\) thì \(\dfrac{x+1}{x-4}>0\)
