Question: Solve the given quadratic inequalities. Check each by displaying the solution on a calculator. |x 2 + x 4| < 2 [Use Eq. (17.2),

Solve the given quadratic inequalities. Check each by displaying the solution on a calculator.

|x2 + x − 4| < 2

[Use Eq. (17.2), and then treat the resulting inequality as two inequalities of the form f (x) > −n and f (x) < n. The solution includes the values of x that satisfy both of the inequalities.]


Data from Eq. (17.2)

If |f(x)| < n, then −n < f (x) < n.
