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

Getting zero on one side and factoring gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{3}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x + 2\right)} - \frac{8}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)}< 0 . This gives the least common denominator as LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 2\right) . Building each fraction to get the common denominator gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{3 x - 3 - (8 x + 16)}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 2\right)} < 0 . Simplifying gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{- 5 x - 19}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 2\right)}<0 . The inequality can change signs at the zeros of the numerator, LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left\{- \frac{19}{5}\right\} , or the zeros of the denominator LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left\{-2, 1, 2\right\} . Making a sign chart gives: This gives the solution LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left(-\infty, - \frac{19}{5}\right) \cup \left(-2, 1\right) \cup \left(2, \infty\right)
