Question 875644: Hello, my question says solve the following rational inequality: x-6/(x^2-49)>0, and it is asking me to state my answer using interval notation. I know that I might be using a union. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x-6)/(x^2-49)>0
(x-6)/((x+7)(x-7))>0
x cannot be 7 or -7. Division by zero not allowed so 7 and - 7 are intervals.
x-6=0, x=6 so 6 is an interval.
Now put a value for x above and below each of the intervals to see if the inequality is valid for the interval.

(-7,6) U (7, infinity)
