Given the inequality: 4x2>0 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: 4x2=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=41 b=0 c=0 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(0)^2 - 4 * (1/4) * (0) = 0
Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = -0/2/(1/4)
x1=0 x1=0 x1=0 This roots x1=0 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 = −101 = −101 substitute to the expression 4x2>0 4(−101)2>0
