Solve the inequality LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{9}{x^{2} - 4}<\frac{8}{x^{2} + 3 x - 10}

Getting zero on one side and factoring gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle - \frac{8}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x + 5\right)} + \frac{9}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x + 2\right)}< 0 . This gives the least common denominator as LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left(x - 2\right) \left(x + 2\right) \left(x + 5\right) . Building each fraction to get the common denominator gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{9 x + 45 - (8 x + 16)}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x + 2\right) \left(x + 5\right)} < 0 . Simplifying gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{x + 29}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x + 2\right) \left(x + 5\right)}<0 . The inequality can change signs at the zeros of the numerator, LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left\{-29\right\} , or the zeros of the denominator LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left\{-5, -2, 2\right\} . Making a sign chart gives: This gives the solution LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left(-29, -5\right) \cup \left(-2, 2\right)
