Inéquation... compliquée !
Introduction to solving inequalities with polynomial terms, including second-degree polynomials in the numerator or denominator. A table of signs is necessary, taking into account the signs of both the numerator and denominator. An example is worked through, calculating the sign of a fraction with a second-degree polynomial numerator and a first-degree polynomial denominator, using a function analysis and a sign table. Another example is provided, where an identity is factored in, simplifying the analysis of the function. The importance of not overlooking values, such as the value of x where the denominator equals zero, is highlighted.
