1. Problem Description
We need to solve the inequality .
2. Solution Steps
First, we subtract from both sides of the inequality:
Next, we find a common denominator and combine the fractions:
Now we analyze the sign of the expression . We have two critical points, and .
We consider three intervals:
1. $x < 2$: In this interval, $x-4 < 0$ and $x-2 < 0$, so $\frac{x-4}{x-2} > 0$.
2. $2 < x < 4$: In this interval, $x-4 < 0$ and $x-2 > 0$, so $\frac{x-4}{x-2} < 0$.
3. $x > 4$: In this interval, $x-4 > 0$ and $x-2 > 0$, so $\frac{x-4}{x-2} > 0$.
Since we want , we need to consider the intervals where the expression is positive or zero.
gives us .
gives us .
When , , so is a solution.
When , the expression is undefined, so is not a solution.
Thus, the solution is or .
