Answer:

(-∞, -4) U (2,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x – 2)(x + 4) > 0

First we solve for x, we replace the inequality sign by = sign

5(x – 2)(x + 4) = 0

Divide both sides by 5

(x – 2)(x + 4) = 0

Now we set each factor =0  and solve for x

x-2 =0 , so x= 2

x+4 =0, so x= -4

Now we use number line and make three intervals

First interval -infinity to -4

second interval -4 to 2

third interval 2 to infinity

Now we check each interval with our inequality

First interval -infinity to -4, pick a number in this interval and check with our inequality. lets pick -5

5(-5 – 2)(-5 + 4) > 0

35>0 is true

second interval -4 to 2, pick a number in this interval and check with our inequality. lets pick 0

5(0– 2)(0 + 4) > 0

-40>0 is false

Third interval 2 to infinity, pick a number in this interval and check with our inequality. lets pick 3

5(3 – 2)(3 + 4) > 0

35>0 is true

solution set are the intervals that make the inequalities true

(-∞, -4) U (2,∞)

5(x-2)(x+4)>0  For this to be true, both parenthetical terms must be both positive or both negative.

x<-4 and x>2

x=(-oo,-4),(2,+oo)

Answer: 16,940 from interest.
Explanation: The cost of it is 28,000 and when you figure out what 5.5% of that is it will come to be 1,540. Next you multiply 1,540 by the 11 years so it would come to 16,940.

Christine went shopping and bought each of her eighteight nephews a​ gift, either a video costing​ $14.95 or a CD costing​ $16.8

So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8

so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6

Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2

Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18
