\"\"

\

The inequality is \"x.

\

Now we find the intercepts

\

First find y-intercept

\

\"f                        (Replace x by 0)

\

\"f                                  (Simplify)

\

The y-intercept is \"minus.\"\"

\

Next find x-intercepts

\

\"x                            (Replace f (x) = 0)

\

\"x                 (\"minus write as \"minus)

\

\"x            (Take out common factors)

\

\"open                    (Simplify)

\

\"x               (Apply zero product property)

\

\"x                       (Simplify)

\

The x-intercepts are \"minus.\"\"

\

Graph the function \"f

\

The vertex is at \"x, \"x

\

\"x                                       (Simplify)

\

\"f           (Replace \"x)

\

\"f                 (Simplify)

\

\"f          (Simplify)

\

The vertex is \"open

\

\"graph\"\"

\

Graph the solution set on a number line. \"inequality\"\"

\

The solution set is \"open.
