To find the values of \( x \) for which the binomial \( 2x - 1 \) is positive, we can set up the inequality:
\[
2x - 1 > 0
\]
Now, we can solve this inequality:
1. Add 1 to both sides:
\[
2x > 1
\]
2. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
x > \frac{1}{2}
\]
Therefore, the binomial \( 2x - 1 \) is positive for all values of \( x \) that are greater than \( \frac{1}{2} \).
**Interval Notation:**
The interval where \( 2x - 1 \) is positive is:
\[
\left( \frac{1}{2}, \infty \right)
\]
\[
2x - 1 > 0
\]
Now, we can solve this inequality:
1. Add 1 to both sides:
\[
2x > 1
\]
2. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
x > \frac{1}{2}
\]
Therefore, the binomial \( 2x - 1 \) is positive for all values of \( x \) that are greater than \( \frac{1}{2} \).
