Critical values give the intervals system%28x%3C=-2%2C-2%3C=x%3C=1%2C1%3C=x%3C=3%2C3%3C=x%29.

Check any value in each interval and determine sign of the expression. Negative means "less than or equal to zero", as will 0. Positive means "not less than or equal to zero". The set of intervals which work (giving negative) is the solution set.
