  C) Break up the number line into regions using the x-intercepts,
 Region 1 : (
  ,  ) Region 2 : (
  ,  ) Region 3 : (
  ,  ) Region 4 : (
  ,  ) Pick a point in each region and test the function to see if its greater than or less than zero.
 Region 1 :
  
  Region 2 :
  
  Region 3 :
  
  Region 4 :
