Solve the inequality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 9 }{ h+1 }>9\]

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

First you multiply both sides by (h+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now I have 9>9(h+1) What is the next step?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

Then you have the following: 9>9(h+1)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

Then: 9>9h+9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then just solve for h?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not correct, you multiply by (h+1)^2 on both sides to get 9(h+1)<(h+1)^2

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

Can you take it from there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you get 9h+9<h^2+2h+1; which goes to 0<h^2-7h-8 and factorises as 0<(h+1)(h-8)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

You get 9>9h+9 -9 -9 then h<0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h>8 and and h<-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cant multiply by an unknown not knowing if it is a negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i got the inequality the wrong way round so its then you get 9h+9>h^2+2h+1; which goes to 0>h^2-7h-8 and factorises as 0>(h+1)(h-8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1<h<8
