a . (-infinity , -3) U (1 , infinity)
b . (-infinity , -1) U (1 , 7)
c . [-2,-3/2]U [3/2,2] --- inclusive of the range
d . (0,1] --- inclusive of 1 and excluding 0
are they correct ???

k = y+z
x+y+k = -6
x^2 + y^2 + k^2
Now, Using Cauchy-schwarz inequality
(1.x + 1.y + 1.k)^2 <= (1^2 + 1^2 +1^2)(x^2 + y^2 + k^2)
36 <= 3(x^2 +y^2 + k^2)
so, x^2 + y^2 + k^2 >= 12
I need A and nuthing else !!

Draw the number line to get:
exp < 0 for x in (-inf, -1) U (1,7). Is this correct?

ya this is right answer. .. :-)
