Answer

$(-1, -0.25) \cup(-0.25, +\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Add $9x+1$ to both sides of the inequality to obtain: $16x^3+24x^2+9x+1\gt -9x-1+9x+1 \\16x^3+24x^2+9x+1\gt 0 $ Graph the function $y=16x^3+24x^2+9x+1$ (refer to the attached image below for the graph) The solution to the given inequality is the set of x-values for which $y\gt 0$. Notice that the graph shows $y \gt 0$ in the following intervals: $(-1, -0.25)$ and $(-0.25, +\infty)$
