Given the inequality: (−x2+6x)+7≥0 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: (−x2+6x)+7=0 Solve: 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=6 c=7 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(6)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (7) = 64
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=−1 x2=7 x1=−1 x2=7 x1=−1 x2=7 This roots x1=−1 x2=7 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 = −1+−101 = −1011 substitute to the expression (−x2+6x)+7≥0 (10(−11)6−(−1011)2)+7≥0
