$\"\"$

\

Solve the rational inequality $\"\"$ . \ \

\

Exclude value of inequality is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Excluded value and solution of inequality divide the $\"\"$ - axis into three intervals $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Now test the sample values in each interval to determine whether values in the interval satisfy the inequality.
