Given the inequality: (x+5)2>0 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: (x+5)2=0 Solve: Expand the expression in the equation (x+5)2=0 We get the quadratic equation x2+10x+25=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=10 c=25 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(10)^2 - 4 * (1) * (25) = 0
Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = -10/2/(1)
x1=−5 x1=−5 x1=−5 This roots x1=−5 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 = −5+−101 = −1051 substitute to the expression (x+5)2>0 (−1051+5)2>0
