Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded contains several mathematical inequalities and expressions. Let's go through each part step by step.
Part 1: Solving Inequalities
The inequalities in the first part of the image are:
Step 1: Find the critical points
For each inequality, find the points where the numerator and denominator equal zero, since these points can be potential solutions or create discontinuities in the inequalities.

Inequality 1:
- Numerator:
- Denominator:
-
Inequality 2:
- Numerator:
- Denominator:
-
Inequality 3:
- Numerator:
- Denominator:
Step 2: Analyze the sign changes
The critical points split the number line into intervals. The sign of each expression within each interval needs to be checked.
Part 2: Rational Inequalities
This section contains complex rational inequalities. For these, each inequality should be individually simplified before solving. Here's an overview:
-
Expression 1:
Simplify the left-hand side (LHS) and right-hand side (RHS) separately, find a common denominator, and solve for .
-
Expression 2:
Similar steps as before: simplify both sides and solve for .
-
Expression 3:
Again, simplify both sides, combine terms, and solve for .
Next Steps:
Each inequality should be solved individually by:
- Finding the critical points.
- Testing the sign of the expression within each interval.
- Writing down the solution sets for each inequality.
