Sketch the curve.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so after i multiplied em i got \[x ^{3}-16x ^{2}+79x-120\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Have you sketched the curve? Because it would help you understand inequalities.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You don't multiply anything.

oh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You just sketch it as it is now. You have the three x-intercepts.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5, 3 and 8?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you plot them and then to see how the curve starts from one end, you plug in an x-value that isn't an x-intercept and see whether you get a negative or positive y-coordinate. That will determine how the curve starts, whether from the negative side or positive side.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So let's plot the easiest x-value you can possibly have which is 0.

When you put that in, what number do you get?
\[(0-5)(0-3)(0-8)=?\]
Do you get a negative number or positive number?
