Solve:
Solution
We draw three number lines: one for the numerator, the second one for the denominator and the third one for the quotient. The first line shows that is equal to for , positive for and negative for .
----------------- (+1) ++++ x-1
----- (-1) +++++++++++ x+1
+++ (-1) ----- (+1) ++++ quotiënt
From this we can determine the sign of the quotient of both linear functions because:
- / - = +
+ / + = +
+ / - = -
- / - = +
and find:
or
