You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4k^3 -6k^2 < = 4k
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "lets solve as equality first
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4k^3 -6k^2 = 4k
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4k^3 -6k^2 -4k =0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2k ( 2k^2 -3k -2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2k (2k+1)(k-2) =0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2k =0,,,,k=0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2k+1 =0,,,,k= (-1/2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "k-2 = 0,,,,k=2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now on number line we have,,, (-1/2),,,,(0),,,,,(2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now lets check if numbers before and after each of these satisfy original inequality
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "for x< (-1/2),,,,let x = -1,,,,-10 <= -4,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "for (-1/2) < x < 0,,,let x= (-.25),,,-.3125 <=-1,,,,not true
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "for 0 less than x less than 2,,,,,let x=1,,,,-2 <= 4,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "for x>2,,,,let x= 3,,,,,54<=12,,,,,not true
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,,,,,x<=(-1/2),,,,,0<=x<=2,,,,,answer \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
