(3-x)(2+x)(4+x)>0
-----------
1st determine values that "x" CANNOT have.
------------
X cannot be 3, -2, -4
--------------
Draw a number line and mark -4, -2, and 3 on the line
--------------
The line now has 4 defined intervals. Test a point from each
of the intervals in the INEQUALITYl to see where solutions are.
--------------
The INEQULITY: (3-x)(2+x)(4+x)>0
I'm only check the factor signs as we only what to know if the product
is positive
---
Test -5 ; -*-*- > 0 ;false
Test -3 : -*-*+ > 0 ; true so solutions in (-4,-2)
Test 2 : +*+*+ > 0 ; true, so solutions in (-2,3)
Test 4 ; -*+*+ > 0 ; false
----------------------------------
Solution : (-4,-2) U (-2,3)
