polynomial inequality :(

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Ik the answer is either b or d but how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think d

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Do you know how?

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Just kidding the answer is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that because it's - 4 times 7

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

How would you do that not looking at the answer

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

first factor x^2 - 3x - 28 can you do that?

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Um, 2 numbers that add to the middle and multiply to get the -28?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Oh boy, ok give me some time factoring isn't my thing

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

= ( x - a)(x + b) where -a and b are your 2 nunbers

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

4 times 7

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

7-4 is 3!!!

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

not quite - one them must be negative

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right so its ( x - 7)(x + 4) now we need to find the values will make this < 0

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Ugh idk which one, how do you know so fast?!

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

-7+4 oh okay

OpenStudy (melissa_something):
