Question 98471: Hi there,
I'm having difficulty solving this inequality:
3(t-1)(t-3) > 0
So at first I tried isolating it looks like:
3 > 0 , (t-1) > 0 , (t-3) > 0
In this sense, I would get:
t > 1 or t > 3
But the right answer is supposed to be t > 3 (Ok, I get this one I think), and t < 1. How did they get the last inequality?
Thank you very much!
