Given: x21x+20.
Solving rational inequality means finding the values of x which will make the inequality TRUE. We need to set numerator and denominator to zero and solve for x to find the boundary points. Based on the boundary points, identify the possible solution intervals of the inequality, then pick test point from each possible solution intervals and check whether it makes the original inequality true or false. The interval which contains the test points making the inequality TRUE are the solution set of the given inequality.
Calculation:
