Do you mean ? The "... to / than..." cannot be understood. You categorized your question in "Algebra: Inequalities, trichotomy". You gave no precise inequality direction or other quality.

Simplify the numeric statement by dividing both sides by 2:

The roots would be critical points.
x----

x------------One of the critical points
AND
x---------Other critical point

The expression of the left side of the numeric statement indicates that the vertex would be a minimum, a parabola opening upward. The interval between the critical points is where the function is negative; and to the left of x=-2 and to the right of x=-1/3 the function is positive.
