    The document discusses solving polynomial and rational inequalities. It provides examples of solving polynomial inequalities by graphing the solution sets on a number line. It defines a rational inequality as being in the form of f(x)<0, f(x)>0, f(x)≤0, or f(x)≥0, where f is a rational function. The document gives an example of a rational inequality and explains how to find where the function is defined and the x-intercept. It provides additional examples of solving rational inequalities and graphing the solution sets. It concludes with applications involving solving inequalities.

    Solving Rational Inequalities
    A rational inequality is an inequality that can be put into
    one of the forms f(x)<0, f(x)>0, f(x) 0 or f(x) 0,
    where f is a rational function. An example of a rational
    inequality is

    function given by f(x)= .

    We can find the x-intercept of f by setting the numerator equal to 0.
