Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
2 – x > x(^2)
2 – x – x(^2) > 0
(x+2)(x-1) < 0
Either (x + 2) > 0 and (x – 1) < 0.
x + 2 > 0 (implies) x > -2.
-2 < x < 1
Solve the inequality 2 – x > x(^2).
2 – x > x(^2)
2 – x – x(^2) > 0
(x+2)(x-1) < 0
Either (x + 2) > 0 and (x – 1) < 0.
x + 2 > 0 (implies) x > -2.
-2 < x < 1
