005 Sample Final A, Question 5

Question Solve the following inequality. Your answer should be in interval notation. ${\frac {3x+5}{x+2}}\geq 2$

Step 1:
We start by subtracting 2 from each side to get ${\frac {3x+5}{x+2}}-{\frac {2x+4}{x+2}}={\frac {x+1}{x+2}}\geq 0$

Step 2:

$x:$ $x<-2$ $x=-2$ $-2<x<-1$ $x=-1$ $-1<x$ Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml.

Step 3:
Now we just write, in interval notation, the intervals over which the denominator is nonnegative.

Final Answer:
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (-\infty, -2)\cup[1, \infty)}
