Convert the inequality to an equation.
Factor the left side of the equation.
Factor using the rational roots test.
If a polynomial function has integer coefficients, then every rational zero will have the form where is a factor of the constant and is a factor of the leading coefficient.
Find every combination of . These are the possible roots of the polynomial function.
Substitute and simplify the expression. In this case, the expression is equal to so is a root of the polynomial.
Substitute into the polynomial.
Raise to the power of .
Raise to the power of .
Multiply by .
Subtract from .
Multiply by .
Subtract from .
Since is a known root, divide the polynomial by to find the quotient polynomial. This polynomial can then be used to find the remaining roots.
Divide by .
Write as a set of factors.
Factor using the AC method.
Factor using the AC method.
Consider the form . Find a pair of integers whose product is and whose sum is . In this case, whose product is and whose sum is .
Write the factored form using these integers.
Remove unnecessary parentheses.
If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to , the entire expression will be equal to .
Set the first factor equal to and solve.
Set the first factor equal to .
Add to both sides of the equation.
Set the next factor equal to and solve.
Set the next factor equal to .
Add to both sides of the equation.
Set the next factor equal to and solve.
Set the next factor equal to .
Add to both sides of the equation.
The final solution is all the values that make true.
Use each root to create test intervals.
Choose a test value from each interval and plug this value into the original inequality to determine which intervals satisfy the inequality.
Test a value on the interval to see if it makes the inequality true.
Choose a value on the interval and see if this value makes the original inequality true.
Replace with in the original inequality.
The left side is less than the right side , which means that the given statement is always true.
True
True
Test a value on the interval to see if it makes the inequality true.
Choose a value on the interval and see if this value makes the original inequality true.
Replace with in the original inequality.
