(x+13)(x-7)(x+4)>0

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

There will be 2 inequalities, x>7,-13<x<-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get it, saifoo?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Graphing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean, how? what do you do? sorry, I don't remember this kind of format. :)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

uhh *equate* each factor to zero x + 13 > 0 x - 7>0 X+ 4 > 0 solve for x in those three thingies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so shouldn't it be: -13, -4, 7 < x

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

lol honestly..there's no notation like that it's x > 7 x> -13 x> -4 idk how @saifoo.khan got x<-4

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

I have done same problem million times. i have found a shortcut for it. ;D i solve all the same way

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh..saifoo is experienced...let's all put our trust in him then :DDD

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

But we basically solve it using a number line.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

(x+13)(x-7)(x+4)>0 (x+13)(x+4)> 0 and x-7>0 Now solve.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

@lgbasallote ^

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

x > -3.06 hahaha lol

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

What;s that? o_O

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

idk lol

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Drunk? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, thx guys, ps. how would it look on a graph, i know you math experts love graphs

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

high

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

<--i dont...make me answer trig, algebra, geometry even calculus..but graphing...that's where i draw the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, you're a funny guy lgbasallote

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

haha thanks ^_^

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

but i really am weak in graphing
