SOLUTION: If f(x)= x(x+1) (x-4), use interval notation to give all values of x where f(x) >0.

Question 102561: If f(x)= x(x+1) (x-4), use interval notation to give all values of x where f(x) >0.

f(x) = x(x + 1)(x - 4)
For x = 0, x = -1, and x = 4, f(x) has the value of zero.
<----------(-1)---------(0)-------------------------(4)-------->
Test:
f(-2) = -2(-1)(-6) = -12
f(-1/2) = (-1/2)(1/2)(-9/2) = 9/8
f(1) = (2)(-3) = -6
f(5) = 5(6)(1) = 30
<----------(-1)=========(0)-------------------------(4)========>
f(x) > 0 only satisfied by f(x) > 4 and 0 > f(x) > -1
or
(-1,0)U(4,+)
