Given the inequality: −x2+(3x+4(4−x))≤0 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: −x2+(3x+4(4−x))=0 Solve: Expand the expression in the equation −x2+(3x+4(4−x))=0 We get the quadratic equation −x2+x+8=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=−1 b=1 c=8 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(1)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (8) = 33
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=21−233 x2=21+233 x1=21−233 x2=21+233 x1=21−233 x2=21+233 This roots x1=21−233 x2=21+233 is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression. First define with the sign to the leftmost point: x0≤x1 For example, let's take the point x0=x1−101 = (21−233)+−101 = 52−233 substitute to the expression −x2+(3x+4(4−x))≤0 −(52−233)2+(3(52−233)+4(4−(52−233)))≤0
