3x-5/x^2-5>0
---
Find values that are not solutions to the inequality.
3x-5 cannot be zero
x cannot be 5/3
--------------------------
x^2-5 cannot be zero
x cannot be sqrt(5)
x cannot be -sqrt(5)
----------------------------
Plot those three points on a number line ; check a value in each of the
intervals to see where solution for the inequality are.
-----
If x = -10 you get -/+ >0 ; false
--------------------------
If x = 0 you get -/- > 0 ; true so solutions in (-sqrt(5),5/3)
--------------------------
If x = 2 you get +/- >0 ; false
---------------------------
If x = 10 you get +/+ >0 ; true so solutions in (sqrt(5, + inf)
