Question 890782: Solve the inequality. State the answer in interval notation.
4/(x+1) <_ 3/(x+2)
the symbol in the middle is supposed to mean "less than or equal to". So far I've multiplied both sides by (x+1) and (x+2) to try and get rid of the fraction.

Put all the expressions onto one side.

Note the critical values of x at -1 and -2.

, CHECK THE EQUALITY. This may be another critical value.

Multiply both sides by LCD.



, possibly another critical point along with -1 and -2.

Look for truth or falseness in the intervals for .
x<=-5

, TRUE.

.
-5<=x<=-2

, TRUE.
, FALSE. .
-2<=x<=-1, .

So far, you know OR ----- still not finished finding solutions for x.


CAN YOU FINISH THESE?
NEED ALSO TO CHECK
-2<=x<=-1, .
-1<=x
