First of all, we can observe that

So the expression becomes

This means that the expression is defined for every 
Now, since the denominator is always positive (when it exists), the fraction can only be positive if the denominator is also positive: we must ask

Since we can't accept 3 as an answer, the actual solution set is
![(-\infty,-2] \cup [2,3) \cup (3,\infty)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28-%5Cinfty%2C-2%5D%20%5Ccup%20%5B2%2C3%29%20%5Ccup%20%283%2C%5Cinfty%29)
Both the equation show a graph of a parabola. The equation y=-x^2+1 is a parabola opening downward since the x variable has a negative sign. While the equation y=x^2 is also a parabola opening upward since x^2 is positive. Both parabola have axis of symmetry on the y-axis. Vertex for the first parabola is on (0,1) while the second parabola is at the origin.
A circle is round, so no matter how many degrees it is rotated it will remain the same
That would mean that Alex has exactly 118 stickers.
