121/n^2>8 subtract 8 from both sides

121/n^2 - 8 > 0 simplify

[ 121 - 8n^2] / n^2 > 0 factor the LHS

0 < n < 11/(2 sqrt(2)), which is your answer.

121 / n2 > 8

 

Multiply both sides by n2; since n2 > 0, you don't have to change the direction of the inequality.

121 / n2 > 8     --->     121 > 8n2     --->     121/8 > n2    --->     n2 < 121/8

 

This means that:  - sqrt(121/8)  <  n  <  sqrt(121/8)     (with n not equal to zero)

Or:                        - [11 · sqrt(2)] / 4   <   n   <   [11 · sqrt(2)] / 4
