Part 3.1· 2 steps

x2−2x−3>0x^2 - 2x - 3 > 0

  1. Find the roots of the quadratic equation x2−2x−3=0x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0.

    (x−3)(x+1)=0(x-3)(x+1) = 0 x=3orx=−1x = 3 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -1
  2. Sketch the parabola y=x2−2x−3y = x^2 - 2x - 3.

    Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards. The inequality x2−2x−3>0x^2 - 2x - 3 > 0 means we are looking for the values of xx where the parabola is above the x-axis.
    Solution: x<−1orx>3\boxed{x < -1 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 3}

Part 3.2

−3<x<2-3 < x < 2

    (x+3)(x−2)=0(x+3)(x-2) = 0 x=−3orx=2x = -3 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2
  2. Sketch the parabola y=x2+x−6y = x^2 + x - 6.

    Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards. The inequality x2+x−6<0x^2 + x - 6 < 0 means we are looking for the values of xx where the parabola is below the x-axis.
    Solution: −3<x<2\boxed{-3 < x < 2}

Part 3.3

x≤0orx≥2x \le 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x \ge 2

x2−2x≥0x^2 - 2x \ge 0

  2. Sketch the parabola y=x2−2xy = x^2 - 2x.

    Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards. The inequality x2−2x≥0x^2 - 2x \ge 0 means we are looking for the values of xx where the parabola is above or on the x-axis.
    Solution: x≤0orx≥2\boxed{x \le 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x \ge 2}

Part 3.4

    (x+4)(x−3)=0(x+4)(x-3) = 0 x=−4orx=3x = -4 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 3
  2. Sketch the parabola y=x2+x−12y = x^2 + x - 12.

    Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards. The inequality x2+x−12≤0x^2 + x - 12 \le 0 means we are looking for the values of xx where the parabola is below or on the x-axis.
    Solution: −4≤x≤3\boxed{-4 \le x \le 3}

Part 3.5

−2<x<1-2 < x < 1

2−x−x2>02 - x - x^2 > 0

  1. Rewrite the inequality by multiplying by -1 and reversing the sign.

    −x2−x+2>0-x^2 - x + 2 > 0 x2+x−2<0x^2 + x - 2 < 0
  2. Find the roots of the quadratic equation x2+x−2=0x^2 + x - 2 = 0.

  3. Sketch the parabola y=x2+x−2y = x^2 + x - 2.

    Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards. The inequality x2+x−2<0x^2 + x - 2 < 0 means we are looking for the values of xx where the parabola is below the x-axis.
    Solution: −2<x<1\boxed{-2 < x < 1}

Part 3.6

  2. Find the roots of the quadratic equation 2x2−x−10=02x^2 - x - 10 = 0 using the quadratic formula x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

    x=−(−1)±(−1)2−4(2)(−10)2(2)x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(2)(-10)}}{2(2)} x=1±1+804x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 80}}{4} x=1±814x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{81}}{4} x=1±94x = \frac{1 \pm 9}{4} x1=1+94=104=52x_1 = \frac{1 + 9}{4} = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2} x2=1−94=−84=−2x_2 = \frac{1 - 9}{4} = \frac{-8}{4} = -2
  3. Sketch the parabola y=2x2−x−10y = 2x^2 - x - 10.

    Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards. The inequality 2x2−x−10≥02x^2 - x - 10 \ge 0 means we are looking for the values of xx where the parabola is above or on the x-axis.
