The best way I know how to show you how to find the solution is to first draw a number line with the zeros on it. (since function is already in factored form)
-∞............-6..........0............8...............∞
next, we need to determine the sign of the intervals between the zeros
Make a chart to determine signs of intervals:
x..........-.....-6......-......0......+........8.......+...........∞
(x+6)....-.....-6.....+......0.......+.......8........+..........∞
(x-8)....-.....-6.......-.....0.......-.......8........+..........∞
f(x)......-......-6......+.....0.......-.......8.........+.........∞
According to chart in interval notation:
solution: [6,0] U [8,∞) (positive intervals)
note: I have not tried this format before. Let me know how you like it.
