Solve the equation by following steps: - step0: Solve for \(x\): \(\frac{\left(\left(m-4\right)x^{2}-3x+m-2\right)}{\left(x^{2}-x-2\right)}+1=0\) - step1: Remove the parentheses: \(\frac{\left(m-4\right)x^{2}-3x+m-2}{x^{2}-x-2}+1=0\) - step2: Simplify: \(\frac{x^{2}m-4x^{2}-3x+m-2}{x^{2}-x-2}+1=0\) - step3: Rewrite the expression: \(\frac{mx^{2}-4x^{2}-3x+m-2}{x^{2}-x-2}+1=0\) - step4: Move the constant to the right side: \(\frac{mx^{2}-4x^{2}-3x+m-2}{x^{2}-x-2}=0-1\) - step5: Remove 0: \(\frac{mx^{2}-4x^{2}-3x+m-2}{x^{2}-x-2}=-1\) - step6: Cross multiply: \(mx^{2}-4x^{2}-3x+m-2=\left(x^{2}-x-2\right)\left(-1\right)\) - step7: Simplify the equation: \(mx^{2}-4x^{2}-3x+m-2=-x^{2}+x+2\) - step8: Collect like terms: \(\left(m-4\right)x^{2}-3x+m-2=-x^{2}+x+2\) - step9: Move the expression to the left side: \(\left(m-4\right)x^{2}-3x+m-2-\left(-x^{2}+x+2\right)=0\) - step10: Calculate: \(\left(m-4\right)x^{2}-4x+m-4+x^{2}=0\) - step11: Simplify: \(\left(m-3\right)x^{2}-4x+m-4=0\) - step12: Solve using the quadratic formula: \(x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^{2}-4\left(m-3\right)\left(m-4\right)}}{2\left(m-3\right)}\) - step13: Simplify the expression: \(x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^{2}-4\left(m-3\right)\left(m-4\right)}}{2m-6}\) - step14: Simplify the expression: \(x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{-32-4m^{2}+28m}}{2m-6}\) - step15: Simplify the expression: \(x=\frac{4\pm 2\sqrt{-8-m^{2}+7m}}{2m-6}\) - step16: Separate into possible cases: \(\begin{align}&x=\frac{4+2\sqrt{-8-m^{2}+7m}}{2m-6}\\&x=\frac{4-2\sqrt{-8-m^{2}+7m}}{2m-6}\end{align}\) - step17: Simplify the expression: \(\begin{align}&x=\frac{2+\sqrt{-8-m^{2}+7m}}{m-3}\\&x=\frac{4-2\sqrt{-8-m^{2}+7m}}{2m-6}\end{align}\) - step18: Simplify the expression: \(\begin{align}&x=\frac{2+\sqrt{-8-m^{2}+7m}}{m-3}\\&x=\frac{2-\sqrt{-8-m^{2}+7m}}{m-3}\end{align}\) To solve the inequality \[ \frac{(m - 4)x^2 - 3x + m - 2}{x^2 - x - 2} \leq -1, \] we first rewrite it as an equation to find the critical points: \[ \frac{(m - 4)x^2 - 3x + m - 2}{x^2 - x - 2} + 1 = 0. \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{(m - 4)x^2 - 3x + m - 2 + (x^2 - x - 2)}{x^2 - x - 2} = 0. \] Combining the terms in the numerator gives us: \[ ((m - 4 + 1)x^2 - (3 + 1)x + (m - 2 - 2)) = 0, \] which simplifies to: \[ ((m - 3)x^2 - 4x + (m - 4)) = 0. \] Now, we can find the roots of this quadratic equation. The solutions are: \[ x = \frac{2 + \sqrt{-8 - m^2 + 7m}}{m - 3}, \quad x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{-8 - m^2 + 7m}}{m - 3}. \] These roots will help us determine the intervals to test for the inequality. Next, we need to analyze the sign of the expression in the intervals defined by these roots and the points where the denominator \(x^2 - x - 2 = 0\) (which factors to \((x - 2)(x + 1) = 0\), giving roots \(x = 2\) and \(x = -1\)). ### Steps to Analyze the Inequality: 1. **Identify Critical Points**: The critical points are the roots of the numerator and the points where the denominator is zero. 2. **Test Intervals**: Choose test points in the intervals defined by these critical points to determine where the inequality holds. 3. **Combine Results**: Combine the results from the test intervals to find the solution set for the inequality.
