Solution
Replace the inequality sign with an equal sign,so that we can solve it like a normal equation.
x
+
4
x
−
2
=
0
⇒
x
+
4
=
0
⇒
x
=
−
4
Note that
x
is undefined at
2
∴
x
≠
2
From the values of
x
above, we have these
3
intervals to test.
x
<
−
4
−
4
<
x
<
2
and
x
>
2
Let us pick a test point for each interval
For the interval
x
<
−
4
Let's pick
x
=
−
5
Then
−
5
+
4
−
5
−
2
>
0
⇒
0.142857
>
0
which is true.
For the interval
−
4
<
x
<
2
Let's pick
x
=
0
Then
0
+
4
0
−
2
>
0
⇒
−
2
>
0
which is false.
For the interval
x
>
2
Let's pick
x
=
3
Then
3
+
4
3
−
2
>
0
⇒
7
>
0
which is true.
∴
x
<
−
4
and
x
>
2
Hence
x
∈
(
−
4
,
2
)
