Question 40619: Could someone please help me to understand how to solve this type of problem? I just cannot seem to get it.
Solve each rational inequality and state the solution set using interval notation.

a__
a + 2 >0
(I can't get it to post correctly, a is over a + 2 and both together are suppose to be >0)

Solve each rational inequality and state the solution set using interval notation.

First we need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator (a + 2).

The a + 2 cancels out on one side and the 0(a+2) = 0, so now we have...

This tells us that (a) is equal to all real numbers greater than zero.
So our solution set in interval notation is...
(0,~) or (0, infinity)
I hope this helps.
Good Luck!
