Answer

$(-\infty,-1]U(0,1]$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Identify boundary points (zeros and asymptotes) as $x=-1,0,1$ which divide the x-axis into four intervals $(-\infty,-1],[-1,0),(0,1],[1,\infty)$ Step 2. Choose test values in each interval $x=-2,-0.5,0.5,2$ and test the inequality to get $True,\ False,\ True,\ False$ Step 3. Thus the solution intervals are $(-\infty,-1]U(0,1]$
