Solve the inequality: x2 - 5x + 6 ≥ 0. A. x ≤ 2 or x ≥ 3 B. 2 ≤ x ≤ 3 C. x ≤ or x ≥ 6 D. x ≤ -6 or x ≥ -1

factor the equation.

i got A

is tht right?

First you factor the equation, which we can see is given by (x-2)(x-3). I find it easiest to draw a graph of the quadratic in this scenario as it can get confusing thinking about all the different scenarios. So |dw:1363726349924:dw| Since we are looking for all the values that the graph is ABOVE or equal to 0, we can see those regions shaded on the graph. All the x values left of 2, and all the values right of 3. So the answer would be \[x \le2 \] and \[x \ge3\] As the region between 2 and 3 is below 0. Hope this helped :)
