- Describe the steps needed to solve a quadratic inequality algebraically.arrow_forwardSolve the polynomial inequality, and graph on the number line: Hint: the critical values are where both sides are equal. Also: do NOT just divide by x.arrow_forward[4,9] how would I express this as an inequality involving x? I thought I know i thought it would be 4 is equal to or greater than x which is equal to or less than 9.arrow_forward
- Determine whether the statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning : "I began the solution of the rational inequality(x + 1)/(x + 3) ≥ 2 by setting both x + 1 and x + 3 equal to zero."arrow_forwardLet 2|3x + 4| − 1 be greater than 5. Solve the inequality.arrow_forwardThe average reading score of 16-year-olds on certain tests is given by y=0.195x+244.09 points, where x is the number of years after 1970. Assuming that this model was valid, write and solve an inequality that describes when the average 16-year-old's reading score on this test was between but not including 246 and 249. Between the years ___ and ____ the average 16-year-old's reading score was between but did not include 246 and 249.arrow_forward
