can you help me solve this and then graph it? we are solving inequalities.
2x^2-x-3 is < or = to 0
---------------------------------
Sketch the boundary curve which is y = 2x^2-x-3
Find the x-intercepts:
2x^2-3x+2x-3 = 0
x(2x-3)+(2x-3) = 0
(2x-3)(x+1) = 0
x intercepts at x=3/2 and at x = -1
------
y-intercept at (0,-3)
---
Plot those points and draw a parabola thru them.
---------------------------------------------------
Graph the inequality as the area BELOW the curve because
your problem says 2x^2-x-3 LESS then 0
----------------------------------------------------
