Given the inequality:
$$\left(x + 3\right)^{2} < 1$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\left(x + 3\right)^{2} = 1$$
Solve:
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from
$$\left(x + 3\right)^{2} = 1$$
to
$$\left(x + 3\right)^{2} - 1 = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(x + 3\right)^{2} - 1 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + 6 x + 8 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 6$$
$$c = 8$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(6)^2 - 4 * (1) * (8) = 4
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or
$$x_{1} = -2$$
$$x_{2} = -4$$
$$x_{1} = -2$$
$$x_{2} = -4$$
$$x_{1} = -2$$
$$x_{2} = -4$$
This roots
$$x_{2} = -4$$
$$x_{1} = -2$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{2}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{2} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$-4 + - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{41}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$\left(x + 3\right)^{2} < 1$$
$$\left(- \frac{41}{10} + 3\right)^{2} < 1$$
121
--- < 1
100
but
121
--- > 1
100
Then
$$x < -4$$
no execute
one of the solutions of our inequality is:
$$x > -4 \wedge x < -2$$
