Full solution

Q. x1x+1x+1x1<2 \frac{x-1}{x+1}-\frac{x+1}{x-1}<2
  1. Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator to combine the fractions.\newlineCommon denominator: (x+1)(x1)(x+1)(x-1)\newline(x1)(x1)(x+1)(x+1)(x+1)(x1)<2\frac{(x-1)(x-1) - (x+1)(x+1)}{(x+1)(x-1)} < 2
  2. Expand Numerators: Expand the numerators. \newline(x22x+1)(x2+2x+1)<2(x21)(x^2 - 2x + 1) - (x^2 + 2x + 1) < 2(x^2 - 1)
  3. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.\newlinex22x+1x22x1<2x22-x^2 - 2x + 1 - x^2 - 2x - 1 < 2x^2 - 2\newline4x<2x22-4x < 2x^2 - 2
  4. Move Terms to One Side: Move all terms to one side. 2x2+4x2>02x^2 + 4x - 2 > 0
