The numerator is positive for x >4x>4 whereas the denominator is positive for x > -3x>−3. It comes that for x< -3x<−3 both of them are negative so that the whole fraction is positive. The same happens for x>4x>4. On the other hand for -3 < x< 4−3<x<4 the fraction is negative. Consequently the fraction is poisitive
for x< -3x<−3 and for x>4x>4
