The function is .
Let .
Perform the synthetic substitution method by testing .
Since , conclude that
is a zero of
.
Therefore, is a rational zero.
The remaining quadratic factor can be written as .
Therefore has
real zeros at
,
and
.
Create a sign chart using these values.
\Note : The solid circles denote that the values are included in the solution set.
\Observe the sign chart :
\The set of values of denoted in pink color represents the solution set.
Determine whether is positive or negative on the test intervals.
Test intervals are and
.
If , then
.
If , then
.
If , then
.
If ,then
.
The solutions of are
values such that
is negative or equal to
.
Because is negative in the interval
.
The solution is .
The solution set of is
