Given that a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how bout -c < x < -a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that make sense?

OpenStudy (angela210793):

not really..O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got \[\frac{(x+a)(x^2+2bx+b^2)}{x+c}<0\]

OpenStudy (angela210793):

i thought it as x<a<c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you are solving for x yes? so what you wrote says x < a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is my reasoning, it may be wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{(x+a)(x+b)^2}{x+c}<o\] and the perfect square part is always non - negative so you are left with \[\frac{x+a}{x+c}<0\] if \[x\neq{-b}\]

OpenStudy (angela210793):

Idk... i thought (x+a)*(X+b)^2/(x+c) so it depends from x+a and X+c.... x+a<0--->x<-a x+c<0--->X<-c u were right..i 4got minuses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok whew. so x is between -c (which is negative) and -a (which is positive)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to be complete you should also say that \[x\neq-b\] because it would be 0 there

OpenStudy (angela210793):

yea...Thnx a loot ^_^
