Solve the inequality..please show step by step Solve the inequality..please show step by step @Mathematics

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

\[x^2-7 \over x^2-x-6\]<1

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

i got to that part so what would the answer be after i make a sign chart?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you have to make a sign chart, then you need to have the right side = 0 so subtract 1 from both sides.

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

what would that look like?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

x^2-7/(x^2-x-6) -1<0

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now write a common denominator

OpenStudy (mertsj):

(x^2-7)/(x^2-x-6)-(x^2-x-6)/(x^2-x-6)<0 (x^2-7-x^2+x+6)/(x^2-x-6)<0 (x-1)/(x-3)(x+2)<0

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now make your sign chart

OpenStudy (mertsj):

_______|_____________|_____________|_________ -2 1 3 (x-1) - - + + (x-3) - - - + (x+2) - + - + Fraction - + + + So we see that the solution is x <-2

ok cool thanks a bunch!!
