Question

Solve the nonlinear inequality. express the solution using interval notation. (x − 2)(x + 8) < 0 webassign

Answer 1

First you find the zeros/x-intercepts using the factors already given in the inequality.

$x = 2$
$x = - 8$

Therefore we make our solution using the interval notation.

$- 8 \leqslant x \leqslant 2$
