x+14/x-8>=1
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be greater then 0 then:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+14-8x>=x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-9x+14>=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2)(x-7)>=0 So
\n" ); document.write( "x-2>=0 So x>=2
\n" ); document.write( "x-7>=0 So x>=7 We must select x>=7 or x=2. There is a similar set of inequalities when we let x be less than 0 \n" ); document.write( "
