x^2+x >1/e^4        make this an equality and complete the square

 

x^2 + x + 1/4 = 1/e^4 + 1/4       factor the left side, simplify the right

 

(x + 1/2)^2  = [ 4 + e^4] / [4e^4)   take the square root of both sides

 

x + 1/2  =  +/- sqrt [ 4 + e^4] / [2e^2]

 

x = +/- sqrt [ 4 + e^4] / [ 2e^2] - 1/2  ≈  [ -1.0179919293664084, 0.0179919293664084 ]

 

The answer  will come from one or more of these intervals

 

(-infinity, - sqrt [ 4 + e^4] / [ 2e^2] - 1/2) , (- sqrt [ 4 + e^4] / [ 2e^2] - 1/2,  sqrt [ 4 + e^4] / [ 2e^2] - 1/2), ( sqrt [ 4 + e^4] / [ 2e^2] - 1/2, infinity)

 

Choosing 0 as a test point for the middle interval will make the inequality false

 

So.....the two outside intervals solve the inequality
