Sorry, there is a type error in the question .... it should be read as ...
Is x^2 /|x| < 1?

still...

that can't possibly be how the question is written.

until you can input it correctly, just know that x^2/lxl will always equal lxl, so it has to follow that -1<x<1.
It must have been love...but it's over now!
