arcsin(1/(x-2))>= 0

Solution

arcsin (\frac{1}{x - 2}) \geq 0

Solution

x \geq 3

Interval Notation

[3, \infty)

Solution steps

arcsin (\frac{1}{x - 2}) \geq 0

arcsin (x) \geq a

then

x \geq sin (a)

\frac{1}{x - 2} \geq sin (0)

sin (0) = 0

sin (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (0) = 0

Domain of

arcsin (\frac{1}{x - 2}) : x \leq 1 or x \geq 3

Domain definition

Find known functions domain restrictions:

x \leq 1 or x \geq 3

arcsin (f (x)) \Rightarrow - 1 \leq f (x) \leq 1

Solve

- 1 \leq \frac{1}{x - 2} \leq 1 : x \leq 1 or x \geq 3

- 1 \leq \frac{1}{x - 2} \leq 1

a \leq u \leq b

then

a \leq u and u \leq b

- 1 \leq \frac{1}{x - 2} and \frac{1}{x - 2} \leq 1

- 1 \leq \frac{1}{x - 2} : x \leq 1 or x > 2

- 1 \leq \frac{1}{x - 2}

Switch sides

\frac{1}{x - 2} \geq - 1

Rewrite in standard form

Simplify

\frac{1}{x - 2} + 1 : \frac{x - 1}{x - 2}

\frac{1}{x - 2} + 1

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 ( x - 2 )}{x - 2}

= \frac{1}{x - 2} + \frac{1 \cdot ( x - 2 )}{x - 2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 + 1 \cdot ( x - 2 )}{x - 2}

1 + 1 \cdot (x - 2) = x - 1

1 + 1 \cdot (x - 2)

1 \cdot (x - 2) = x - 2

1 \cdot (x - 2)

Multiply:

1 \cdot (x - 2) = (x - 2)

= (x - 2)

Remove parentheses:

(a) = a

= x - 2

= 1 + x - 2

Group like terms

= x + 1 - 2

Add/Subtract the numbers:

1 - 2 = - 1

= x - 1

= \frac{x - 1}{x - 2}
