Solve the following inequality. Write the answer using interval notation.
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2)/(x+5)≤0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve the equality:
\n" ); document.write( "x-2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "To solve the inequality:
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a number line.
\n" ); document.write( "Plot x = -5 and x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "That creates 3 intervals on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "Check a value from each of the intervals to see where the solutions are.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -10 you get: -/- < 0 ; false
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 0 you get: -/+ < 0 ; true, so solutions in (-5,2]
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 10 you get: +/+ < 0 ; false
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solution: -5< x <= 2
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
