Solve the polynomial inequality and express the solution set in interval notation.
\n" ); document.write( "x^3+x^2+36x+36<0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2(x+1)+36(x+1)<0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1)(x^2+36)<0
\n" ); document.write( "zeros:
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+36=0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=±√-36=±6i (not a real number, so it does not appear on the number line)
\n" ); document.write( "number line
\n" ); document.write( "<.....-.....-1....+......>
\n" ); document.write( "solution:
\n" ); document.write( "(-∞,-1)
