To solve the inequality ((x+3)(2x+3))/((2−3x)(2−x))>0, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the critical points by setting each factor equal to zero and finding the solutions.
Setting x+3=0, we find x=−3.
Setting 2x+3=0, we find x=−23.
Setting 2−3x=0, we find x=32.
Setting 2−x=0, we find x=2.
Step 2: Plot these critical points on a number line.
On the number line, we have:
−∞−3−23322∞
Step 3: Test the inequality in each interval formed by the critical points.
In the interval −∞<x<−3, we choose a test point x=−4. Plugging it into the inequality, we have:
((x+3)(2x+3))/((2−3x)(2−x))=((−4+3)(2(−4)+3))/((2−3(−4))(2−(−4)))=6−1>0
In the interval −3<x<−23, we choose a test point x=−2. Plugging it into the inequality, we have:
((x+3)(2x+3))/((2−3x)(2−x))=((−2+3)(2(−2)+3))/((2−3(−2))(2−(−2)))=85>0
In the interval −23<x<32, we choose a test point x=0. Plugging it into the inequality, we have:
((x+3)(2x+3))/((2−3x)(2−x))=((0+3)(2(0)+3))/((2−3(0))(2−(0)))=49>0
In the interval 32<x<2, we choose a test point x=1. Plugging it into the inequality, we have:
((x+3)(2x+3))/((2−3x)(2−x))=((1+3)(2(1)+3))/((2−3(1))(2−(1)))=520>0
In the interval 2<x<∞, we choose a test point x=3. Plugging it into the inequality, we have:
((x+3)(2x+3))/((2−3x)(2−x))=((3+3)(2(3)+3))/((2−3(3))(2−(3)))=35−36<0
Step 4: Determine the solution.
