Question

Solve for x. enter your answer in interval notation using grouping symbols. x^2+15x<-36

Answer 1

X²+15x+36<0

at first solve quadratic equation

D=b²-4ac= 225-4*1*36= 81

x=(-b+/-√D)/2a
x=(-15+/-√81)/2= (-15+/-9)/2
x1=(-15-9)/2=-12
x2=(-15+9)/2=-3

we can write x²+15x+36<0 as (x+12)(x+3)<0

(x+12)(x+3)<0 can be 2 cases, because for product to be negative one factor should be negative , and second factor should be positive
 1 case)      x+12<0, and x+3>0,                                            
                       x<-12, and x>-3
(-∞, -12) and(-3,∞) gives empty set

or second case)  x+12>0 and x+3<0
x>-12 and x<-3
(-12,∞) and (-∞,-3)  they are crossing , so (-12, -3)  is a solution of this inequality
