SOLUTION: {{{ 9/(h+1) > 9 }}} Solve the inequality. After finding the important values/zeroes (-1 and 0) I checked -2, -.5, and 1 using the equation {{{ 9 > 9h+9 }}}and {{{ 0 > 9h }}}

Question 976979:
Solve the inequality.
After finding the important values/zeroes (-1 and 0)
I checked -2, -.5, and 1 using the equation and
When plugged into these inequalities -2 and -.5 worked, however when plugged into the original equation only -.5 worked.
Why did -2 not work despite it working in the above inequalities that I consider to be the same?
Also sorry if this was supposed to be posted in inequalities rather than rational functions.

First, multiply left and right by .



Continuing,






The critical values are the root which is 0, and the undefined value which is -1. These form the intervals on h of , , and . CHECK ANY ONE VALUE in each interval and determine if the value and the interval will work in the ORIGINAL inequality.

Write again if any trouble doing that.

You're correct: , and 

Thus, there are 2 intervals to check: , and . You'll see that only those

values in the interval:  work.

By the way,  DOES NOT make the inequality true, so that value is not in the interval 

of values that satisfy the inequality.
