(∞, -2) (-2, 0] [0,∞)
Test point -3 -1 1
2x - - +
x+2 - + +
f(x) + - +
✓ X ✓
Since f(x) > 0 all intervals with positive sign
will be the solution.
My Solution:
2
f(x) = ---
x+2
x+2 = 0
x= -2
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0
f(x) 2 2 undefined 2 2
f(-4) = ---- f(-3) = ---- f(-1) = ---- f(0) = ---
-4+2 -3+2 -1+2 0+2
2 2 2 2
= ---- = ---- = ---- = ----
-2 -1 1 2
= -1 = -2 =2 =1
