x^4-5x^3-25x^2+65x+84(greater than or equal to)0
----
Find the zeroes:
Use synthetic division:
---
-1)....1....-5....-25.....65....84
.......1.....-6....-19......84...|..0
7).....1......1.....-12....|..0
=========================================
Solve x^2+x-12 = 0
(x+4)(x-3) = 0
x = -4 or x = 3
===============================
===============================
Draw a number line and plot x = -4,-1,3,7
These values satisfy the EQUALITY.
---------------
Test a value in each of the 5 intervals to find the solution set:
INEQUALITY: (x+4)(x+1)(x-3)(x-7) > 0
Let x = -10 to get -*-*-*- > 0 ; true
Let x = -2 to get +*-*-*- > 0 ; false
Let x = 2 to get +*+*-1*- > 0 ; true
Let x = 5 to get +*+*+*- > 0 ; false
Let x = 10 to get +*+*+*+ > 0 ; true
---------------
Solution: (-oo,-4]U[-1,3]U[7,+oo)
