Answer:
1) x ≤ 2 or x ≥ 5
2) -6 < x < 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) We have x^2 - 7x + 10, so let's factor this as if this were a regular equation:
x^2 - 7x + 10 = (x - 2)(x - 5)
So, we now have (x - 2)(x - 5) ≥ 0
Let's imagine this as a graph (see attachment). Notice that the only place that is above the number line is considered greater than 0, and that's when x ≤ 2 or x ≥ 5 (the shaded region).
2) Again, we have x^2 + 4x - 12, so factor this as if this were a regular equation:
x^2 + 4x - 12 = (x + 6)(x - 2)
So now we have (x + 6)(x - 2) < 0
Now imagine this as a graph again (see second attachment). Notice that the only place that is below 0 (< 0) is when -6 < x < 2 (the shaded region).
Hope this helps!
Part A:
I have attached the graph of this system of inequalities.
Part B:
Plug in (8,10) into both equations
10 > 3(8) + 10
10 > 24 + 10
10 > 34
This is false!
10 < (-3/4)(8) - 1
10 < (-3)(2) - 1
10 < -6 - 1
10 < -7
This is also false!
So, (8,10) is not included in the solution area for the system.
