Domain Analysis: Solve (x+1/6)(-x-4/9) < 0 for All Values

To solve this problem, we will determine the zero points of the function by setting each factor to zero:

• $x + \frac{1}{6} = 0 \Rightarrow x = -\frac{1}{6}$
• $-x - 4\frac{1}{9} = 0 \Rightarrow x = -4\frac{1}{9}$

Thus, the function has zeros at $x = -\frac{1}{6}$ and $x = -4\frac{1}{9}$.

The intervals to test are $(-\infty, -4\frac{1}{9})$, $(-4\frac{1}{9}, -\frac{1}{6})$, and $(-\frac{1}{6}, \infty)$.

We evaluate the sign of $f(x) = \left(x + \frac{1}{6}\right)\left(-x - 4\frac{1}{9}\right)$ in each of these intervals:

• For $x < -4\frac{1}{9}$, both factors are negative, so $f(x) > 0$.
• For $-4\frac{1}{9} < x < -\frac{1}{6}$, the factors have opposite signs, so $f(x) < 0$.
• For $x > -\frac{1}{6}$, both factors are positive, so $f(x) > 0$.

Therefore, the function is negative for $-4\frac{1}{9} < x < -\frac{1}{6}$, but the problem asks for where the function is positive and negative domains, and identifies in which intervals the product of the factors is negative. From analyzing intervals, we find that: - $f(x) < 0$ for $-4\frac{1}{9} < x < -\frac{1}{6}$ - However, for identifying the "positive and negative domains" typically means outside where the function is negative, which is $x > -\frac{1}{6}$ or $x < -4\frac{1}{9}$. Since those identities point to what the correctly asked question might go towards; therefore, those points are emphasized for response requirements:

Thus, for $f(x) < 0$, solution identification becomes $x > -\frac{1}{6}$ or $x < -4\frac{1}{9}$.

The solution to the question is $x > -\frac{1}{6}$ or $x < -4\frac{1}{9}$.
