| Type | Rational inequality algebraically |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.3 This is a standard FP2 rational inequality requiring algebraic manipulation (cross-multiplication with sign consideration or bringing to common denominator), finding critical points, and sign analysis. While it's Further Maths content, the technique is routine and well-practiced, making it slightly easier than average overall but typical for its module. |
