Given the inequality:
$$- 4 x > 0$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$- 4 x = 0$$
Solve:
Given the linear equation:
-4*x = 0
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = 0 / (-4)
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{1} = 0$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = 0$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$- 4 x > 0$$
$$- \frac{\left(-1\right) 4}{10} > 0$$
2/5 > 0
the solution of our inequality is:
$$x < 0$$
