Homework Statement
Solve: (x+1)/(x+6) >or= 0
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Don't know where to even start.
To solve a fraction function, you need to find the values of the variable that make the function true. In this case, the function is (x+1)/(x+6) >or= 0. To solve it, you will need to factor the numerator and denominator, set each factor equal to zero, and then solve for the variable. The values of the variable that make the function true are the solutions.
The ">/=" symbol means "greater than or equal to." In this fraction function, it is indicating that the variable must be greater than or equal to the value of the function to make it true.
This fraction function represents an inequality, which means it has a range of possible solutions rather than a single value. It is significant because it allows us to find a range of values for the variable that will make the function true.
Yes, you can use a calculator to solve this fraction function. However, it is important to understand the steps involved in solving it manually before using a calculator. Also, make sure to use a calculator that can handle inequalities and fractions.
To check if your solution to the fraction function is correct, you can plug in the value of the variable into the original function and see if it makes the function true. You can also graph the function and see if the solution falls within the shaded region (if there is one).
