Look at the inequality and determine when the left hand side equals the right hand side.
You can factor this quadratic,
Two solutions: and
In addition, because of the x terms in the denominator, add the additional points when the denominator goes to zero.
and
Set up a number line and break it up using these two points.
Region 1: (,)
Region 2: (,)
Region 3: (,)
Region 4: (,)
Region 5: (,)
Choose points in each region and check the inequality in that region to see if it's valid or not.
Region 1: Pick .
True, Region 1 is a valid region.
.
.
Region 2: Pick .
False, Region 2 is not a valid region.
.
.
Region 3: Pick x=-9.
True, Region 3 is a valid region.
.
.
Region 4: Pick x=0.
False, Region 4 is not a valid region.
.
.
Region 5: Pick x=10.
True, Region 5 is a valid region.

.
.
(,)U(,)U(,)
E is the correct answer.
