1. Rearrange the inequality to compare with zero and express it as a single algebraic fraction.
\n\n
2. Analyse the sign of the quadratic numerator.
For the numerator :\nDiscriminant \nSince and the coefficient of is positive (), we have for all real .
3. Determine the solution by evaluating the sign of the denominator.
Since the numerator is always strictly positive, the entire fraction is positive if and only if the denominator is also positive:\n\nThe critical values are and .\nSolving this quadratic inequality yields:\n
x < 0 \text{ or } x > \frac{4}{3}
