Solve the inequality.
2x^2 + 5x + 2≤ 0
-----
2x^2 + 4x+x + 2 <= 0
-------
2x(x+2) + (x+2) <= 0
--------
(x+2)(2x+1) <= 0
------
Draw a nnumber line and plot x = -2 and x = -1/2
------
Test a value in each of the 3 resulting line intervals::
(x+2)(2x+1) <= 0
---
If x = -10 you get -*- <= 0:: false
If x = -1 you get +*- <= 0:: true so, solutions in [-2,-1/2]
If x = 0 you get +*+<= 0:: false
-----
Ans: [-2,-1/2]
