Given the inequality: (x−7)(11x−6)<0 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: (x−7)(11x−6)=0 Solve: Expand the expression in the equation (x−7)(11x−6)=0 We get the quadratic equation 11x2−83x+42=0 This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: x1=2aD−b x2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=11 b=−83 c=42 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(-83)^2 - 4 * (11) * (42) = 5041
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=7 x2=116 x1=7 x2=116 x1=7 x2=116 This roots x2=116 x1=7 is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression. First define with the sign to the leftmost point: x0<x2 For example, let's take the point x0=x2−101 = −101+116 = 11049 substitute to the expression (x−7)(11x−6)<0 (−7+11049)(−6+11011⋅49)<0

Then x<116 no execute one of the solutions of our inequality is: x>116∧x<7
