Question:

The set of values of \( x \) satisfying the system of inequalities \( 5x + 2 < 3x + 8 \) and \( \frac{x^2}{x-1} < 4 \) is:

Show Hint

When solving inequalities, always consider the domain restrictions, especially when dealing with rational functions.

  • \( (-\infty, 1) \)
  • \( (3, \infty) \)
  • \( (-\infty, 1) \cup (2, 3) \)
  • \( (-\infty, 1) \cup (2, 3) \cup (5, \infty) \)

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The solution of the inequality system can be found by solving both inequalities and analyzing the solution intervals.
The solution for \( 5x + 2 < 3x + 8 \) gives \( x < 3 \), and solving \( \frac{x^2}{x-1} < 4 \) gives the final solution set as \( (-\infty, 1) \cup (2, 3) \cup (5, \infty) \).
