First factor,



Now break up the number line into 4 regions base on the zeros of the polynomial,
Region 1: (,)
Region 2: (,)
Region 3: (,)
Region 4: (,)
For each region choose a point in the region (not an endpoint).
Test the inequality.
If the inequality is satsfied, that region is part of the solution region.

Region 1:




False, this region is not part of the solution region.

.
Region 2:




True, this region is part of the solution region.

Region 3:




False, this region is not part of the solution region.

x^3+2x^2-3x>0
first we find the zeros.
x(x^2+2x-3)=0
x(x+3)(x-1)=0
x=0, x=-3, x=1
.
Now we test on either side of the zeros.
x=-4 y=-20
x=-2 y=6
x=1/2 y=-.875
x=2 y=10
.
(-3, 0), (1, infinity) answer
