Question
which inequality represents the values of x that ensure triangle abc exists? a. \\(\frac{7}{4} < x < \frac{11}{2}\\) b. \\(-\frac{7}{4} < x < \frac{11}{2}\\) c. \\(1 < x < 5\\) d. \\(2 < x < 6\\)
Step1: 应用三角形三边关系
三角形任意两边之和大于第三边,所以有:
- \(2x + 4 + 6x > 18\),即\(8x + 4 > 18\),\(8x > 14\),\(x > \frac{14}{8}=\frac{7}{4}\);
- \(2x + 4 + 18 > 6x\),即\(2x + 22 > 6x\),\(22 > 4x\),\(x < \frac{22}{4}=\frac{11}{2}\);
- \(6x + 18 > 2x + 4\),即\(4x > -14\),\(x > -\frac{14}{4}=-\frac{7}{2}\)(此不等式对\(x\)的限制弱于\(x > \frac{7}{4}\),故忽略)。
Step2: 确定\(x\)的范围
综合前两个有效不等式,得\(\frac{7}{4} < x < \frac{11}{2}\)。
