Solve: (x+2)(x-2)(x+1)>0 a)the solution set is b)solution is all real numbers c)there is no solution 1 solutions Answer 177712 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2009-11-25 15:41:48 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given inequality. Set the left side equal to zero Set each individual factor equal to zero: , or Solve for x in each case: , or So our critical values are , and Now set up a number line and plot the critical values on the number line So let's pick some test points that are near the critical values and evaluate them. Let's pick a test value that is less than (notice how it's to the left of the leftmost endpoint). This corresponds to the left most interval () So let's pick Start with the given inequality Plug in Evaluate and simplify the left side Since the inequality is false, this means that the interval does not work. So this interval is not in our solution set and we can ignore it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's pick a test value that is in between and . This corresponds to the left middle interval () So let's pick Start with the given inequality Plug in Evaluate and simplify the left side Since the inequality is true, this means that the interval works. So this tells us that this interval is in our solution set. So part our solution in interval notation is () --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's pick a test value that is in between and . This corresponds to the right middle interval () So let's pick Start with the given inequality Plug in Evaluate and simplify the left side Since the inequality is false, this means that the interval does not work. So this interval is not in our solution set and we can ignore it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's pick a test value that is greater than (notice how it's to the right of the rightmost endpoint).
