Problem
Find all which satisfy both the inequalities and . Express your answer in interval notation, reducing any fractions in your answer.
Solution
We take the inequalities one at a time. Adding to both sides of the first inequality, we get implying Reducing the fraction and switching the sides (along with the direction of the inequality), we get .
To solve the second inequality, we add to both sides: Dividing both sides by , we get Reducing the fraction gives .
We are looking for which satisfy both inequalities. The intersection of the solutions above is .
