Dealing with rational inequalities is like dealing with inequalities that feature rational expressions - these are expressions that take the form of a fraction in which both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The challenge when solving these inequalities lies in pinpointing the variable values that satisfy the inequality. It's a fascinating blend of concepts drawn from both inequality and polynomial equations.
