| Type | Rational inequality algebraically |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.3 This is a rational inequality requiring students to rearrange to a common denominator, consider sign changes, and find critical points. While it involves case-work for the sign of x, it's a standard FP2 technique with straightforward algebra—slightly above average difficulty due to the sign analysis required, but well within expected competency for Further Maths students. |
