Question 554180
solve the inequality x squared +13 x+40 < 5
-------------------
x^2 + 13x + 35 < 0
---------------
x = -3.8074 or x = -9.1926
----------------
Plot those x-values on a number line:
Since the parabola opens up the solution set
must be between the roots:
x^2 + 13x + 35 < 0
--
Solutions: -9.1926 < x < -3.8074
