Question

What is the solution set to the inequality 5(x - 2)(x + 4) > 0?

Answer 1

Answer:

{x | x < 2 and  x < -4 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality 5(x - 2)(x + 4) > 0?

This also means x - 2 < 0 and x + 4<0

For x - 2 < 0

Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 + 2 < 0 + 2

x < 2

Similarlry for x + 4 <0

Subtract 4 from both sides

x+4-4 < 0 -4

x < 0 -4

x < -4

x < 2 and  x < -4

Hence the required solution is {x | x < 2 and  x < -4 }
