Get 0 on the right Get LCD of Critical values are gotten by setting numerators and denominators = 0 and solving. We can't set the numerator = 0 since it's -2 We set the denominator = 0 and Now we make a number line and mark those critical values -----------o---------o----------- -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 Now we choose any value to the left of -1, say -2 Substitute it into That is true so we shade the part of the number line to the left of -1: <===========o---------o----------- -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 Next we choose any value between -1 and 1, say, 0 and substitute it into That is false so we do not shade the part of the number line between -1 and 1, so we still have: <===========o---------o----------- -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 Next we choose any value to the right of 1, say 2 Substitute it into That is true so we shade the part of the number line to the right of 1: <===========o---------o==========> -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 The critical values do not satisfy the inequality because they cause 0's in the denominator, so we leave them open. Now we translate this graph into interval notation: Edwin
