Are you allowed to use a graphing calculator or graphing techniques???

If so, then sketch y=(x+2)(x-11)(x+1).

This graph has zeros at x=-2, x=11, and x=-1. Sketch the graph using x values (based upon the zeros that you just found!) from x=-5 to x = 15. Values of y must be larger, but you can try using values from -100 to 100. I'll use the algebra.com calculator and see what it looks like:

Now, since you are solving the inequality (x+2)(x-11)(x+1)>0, you need to find all values of x for which the graph y=(x+2)(x-11)(x+1) are ABOVE the x axis.

This would be values of x from -2 to -1 or values of x from 11 to infinity.
{x|-2 < x <-1} U {x|x > 11}
