  1. this equation can be simplified as

    if you cud have placed the brackets properly it wud be easy to understand the question

    well i can solve 2nd part if there are no brackets

    3/x+1=(3+x)/x&lt;=0

    multiplying both sides by x^2 as it is alaways positive it wont matter

    now the equality is

    (3+x)(x)&lt;=0

    by wavy curve method

    we get interval [-3,0]


  2. 1)

    we know x^2 + 3 is positive

    so x^2 - 7x + 10 &lt;= 0

    or (x-2)(x-5) &lt;=0

    x &lt; 2 means both are -ve so product positive

    2 &lt;= x &lt;= 5 condition meets

    x &gt; 5 means both are +ve so product positive

    so 2 &lt;= x &lt;= 5

    2nd one

    3/(x+1) &lt;= 0

    means x + 1 &lt; 0

    or x &lt; - 1

    math kp

  3. 1))since the denominator is always  positive

    check for which x numerator is negetive

    x^2-7x+10=(x-5)(x-2)

    hence 1) is true whn x belongs to the set (-infinity,2]U[5,infinity)

    2))  (3/x)   +1&lt;=0

    3/x&lt;=-1

    x/3&gt;=-1

    x&gt;=-3   and x must be &lt; 0
