((x+3)/(x)) > x
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "[(x+3)/x]-x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "[x+3-x^2]/x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "(-x^2+x+3)/x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "-(x^2-x-3)/x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Values of x that do not work: x = -1.3; x = 2.3; x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a number line and plot -1.3,0,and 2.3
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Test a value in each of the resulting 4 number-line intervals.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "-(x^2-x-3)/x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "Test x = -10:: -/- > 0 ; true, so solutions in (-oo,-1.3)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Test x = -1:: +/- > 0 ; false
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Test x = +1:: +/+ > 0 ; true, solutions in (0,2.3)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Test x = +10:: -/+ > 0 ; false
