Solve for
This equation has rational expressions, so the function can "change sign" at
Set this inequality equal to
Create a common denominator and then a single fraction.
Determine the boundary points by setting each factor equal to
Test a point in each interval to determine the solution interval(s).
The boundary points are
Mark these points on a number line and test a point in each interval.
You only need to think about each factor as being positive or negative since the entire expression is being compared to
