From quadratic expression to solution set
From quadratic expression to solution set
A quadratic inequality asks for the values of xxx that make a quadratic expression positive or negative. For example, solving x2+4x>12x^2 + 4x \gt 12x2+4x>12 is equivalent to deciding where the graph y=x2+4x−12=(x+6)(x−2)y = x^2 + 4x - 12 = (x+6)(x-2)y=x2+4x−12=(x+6)(x−2) is above the x-axis. The final answer is a solution set, usually written using interval notation or as separate regions on a number line.
