Solve.
(x+15)(x-10)(x+5)> 0
Is there no solution?
Is it all real numbers?
------------------------------
Draw and number line and plot x=-15, x= -5 , x = 10
---
That divides the number line into 4 segment.
---
Test a value from each segment to see where the solutions lie.
Substitute into : (x+15)(x-10)(x+5)> 0
If x = -20 you get -*-*- > 0 ; false so no solutions in (-inf,-10)
---
If x = -10 you get +*-*- > 0 ; true so solutions in (-15,-5)
---
If x = 0 you get: +*-*+ > 0 ; false so no solutions in (-5,10)
---
If x = 20 you get: +*+*+ > 0 ; true so solutions in (10,+inf)
