Question 947043: ((1-x)((x+1)/(x+5)) ≤ 0
Using the table of signs what would the interval set be?
Thanks!

Negative will mean less than zero, and positive will mean not less than or equal to zero.

Critical values are -5, -1, and 1. These values cut the x number line into intervals. Be aware than the roots are 1 and -1, so these will satisfy the inequality.

Not absolutely sure the format of your sign table.


__________________(-infin, -5]__________[-5, -1]____________[-1, 1]_________[1, infin)

SIGNS_____________(+)(-)/(-)__________(+)(-)/(-)___________(+)(+)/(+)________(-)(+)/(+)
-
-
RESULT SIGN________(+)________________(+)_________________(+)________________(-)

If I made no logic mistakes here, then the interval which satisfies is . The root value also satisfies the inequality.
