Solve the polynomial inequality x^2-3x-10>0

As x² - 3x - 10 factors, we can use the zero product property and pull it apart into factors. It factors because 2 and 5 have a difference of 3 and product of 10

x² - 3x - 10 > 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) > 0

To find where the inequality is true, we use a sign test. When x-5 > 0, it means x >5, and 5 is one of our sign test values. Similarly, -2 is the other. We can then make three intervals - A (less than -2), B (between -2 and 5), and C (more than 5).

<--------------- -2 ------------------ 5 -------------------------->

A B C

To do a sign test, we choose values to see what happens. First, test x = -5.

(-5 - 5)(-5 + 2) = (-10)(-3) = 30. Because 30 > 0, the inequality is true for x < -2. So interval A is true.

Next, test x = 0.

(0 - 5) (0 + 2) = (-5)(2) = -10. Because -10 < 0 is false, the inequality is false for x > -2 and x < 5. So interval B is false.

Last, test x = 10

(10 - 5) (10 + 2) = (5) (8) = 40. Because 40 > 0 is true, the inequality is true for x > 5. So interval C is true.

We put the true intervals together.

(-∞, -2) ∪ (5, ∞) is where this inequality is true,

{x : x < -2 or x > 5} is also how it's said in set notation.

A science teacher has a supply of 5% hydrochloric acid and a supply of 65% hydrochloric acid(HC1). How much of each solution sho
Sphinxa [80]
Assume that the amount needed from the 5% solution is x and that the amount needed from the 65% solution is y.

We are given that, the final solution should be 42 ml, this means that:
x + y = 42 ...........> equation I
This can also be written as:
x = 42-y .......> equation II

We are also given that the final concentration should be 45%, this means that:
5% x + 65% y = 45% (x+y)
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(x+y)


We have x+y = 42 from equation I, therefore:
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(42)
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9 .........> equation III

Substitute with equation II in equation III as follows:
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9
0.05(42-y) + 0.65y = 18.9
2.1 - 0.05y + 0.65y = 18.9
0.6y = 18.9 - 2.1
0.6y = 16.8
y = 28 ml

Substitute with y in equation II to get x as follows:
x = 42-y
x = 42 - 28
x = 14 ml

Based on the above calculations:
amount of 5% solution = x = 14 ml
amount of 65% solution = y = 28 ml
The correct choice is:
The teacher will need 14 mL of the 5% solution and 28 mL of the 65% solution.
