Answer

$\displaystyle \left\{x\ |\ x \gt \frac{1}{2} \right\}$ or $\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{2}, \ +\infty \right)$

Work Step by Step

$(2x-1)^{-1}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2x-1}$ If this fraction is positive, then its denominator is positive: $ 2x-1 \gt 0\qquad$ ... add $+1$ $ 2x \gt 1\qquad$... multiply with $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$ $x \gt \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$ Solution set: $\displaystyle \left\{x\ |\ x \gt \frac{1}{2} \right\}$ or $\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{2}, \ +\infty \right)$
