solve 2x^2 + x < 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with \[2x^2+x-3<0\] then see if you can factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not too hard to factor this one

OpenStudy (lucaz):

@satellite73 sorry, when I get here I suffer with a crazy delay.. I found the roots but it doesnt work on the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sue what you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factors as \[(x-1)(2x+3)\] zeros are \(-\frac{3}{2}\) and \(1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it is a parabola that opens up, it is negative between the zeros, and positive outside of them you want negative, so the final answer is \(-\frac{3}{2}<x<1\) or \((-\frac{3}{2},1)\) in interval notation

OpenStudy (lucaz):

I thought it was -3 and 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm no

OpenStudy (lucaz):

2x^2+x-3 what happens then?
