Which of the following points is in the solution set of y < x squared - 4x + 3?

OpenStudy (sw33thearts):

what is the solution set don't just give me the answer

OpenStudy (mrm):

I would start by factoring in the right side: \[y < x^{2} - 4x-3\]

OpenStudy (mrm):

oops... \[y < x^{2} -4x+3\]

OpenStudy (sw33thearts):

ok

OpenStudy (sw33thearts):

then what

OpenStudy (mrm):

try factoring the right side of the equation

OpenStudy (sw33thearts):

k got the answer

OpenStudy (mrm):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (sw33thearts):

-3 and 0

OpenStudy (mrm):

Hmmm... not quite... your equation is an inequality so you answers will be inequalities. Also, I don't think you factored correctly... lets factor the right side: \[y < x^{2}-4x+3 \rightarrow y < (x-1)(x-3)\]

OpenStudy (sw33thearts):

k thanks
