Examples:
1. x 2+ 5 x−6<0
Solution:
x 2+ 5 x−6<0 Given. In the quadratic Inequalities, the
process in solving the value of x is the
same process in our previous topic which is
quadratic Equation.
( x +6 ) ( x−1 ) <0 Since the inequality is factorable so we
factor the given inequality in order to find
x−1=0the value of x .
x +6=0 x=1 To find the value of x , we use the zero
x=−6 factor property as discussed on our first
module.
Since we already have the value of x , we are going to make a number line.
The values -6 and 1 divide the number line into three regions A, B, and
C.
A B C
-6 1
To see whether the inequality x 2+ 5 x−6<0 is true or false in each region, choose
a test point from each region and substitute its value for x in inequality
x 2+ 5 x−6<0 . If the result is true, then the region containing the test point is a
solution region.
Region Test Point Value (x +6)(x−1)< 0 Result
A -7 (−1)(−8)<0 False
8< 0
B 0 (6)(−1)<0 True
−6< 0
C 2 (8)(1)< 0 False
8<0
The region B satisfy the inequality and since the inequality symbol is ¿, the numbers -6
and 1 are not included in the solution set(our shaded region).
The graph is
A B C
Solution set: -6 1
{ x|−6< x <1 }
2. Sergio has a parcel into smaller rectangular lots. The length of each lot is 5
meters longer than its width and its area is greater than 150 square meters. What
could be the dimensions of the lot?
Solution:
In the given situation, the width of the lot can be represented by x and the length
by x+5. Then the quadratic inequality is
x ( x +5 ) >150 or 2
x + 5 x−150> 0
(Length)(Width)
Find the roots of the given Quadratic Inequality
2
x + 5 x−150> 0 Factor the given quadratic Inequality
( x +15)( x−10)=0 Solve for x
x +15=0 x−10=0
x=−15
x=10
The values -15 and 10 divide the number line into three regions A,B, and C.
A B C
- 15 10
To see whether the inequality x 2+ 5 x−6<0 is true or false in each region, choose a test
point from each region and substitute its value for x in inequality x 2+ 5 x−6<0 . If the
resulting is true, then the region containing the test point is a solution region.
Region Test Point Value (x +15)(x−10)> 0 Result
A -16 (−1)(−26)>0 True
26> 0
B 0 (15)(−10)>0 False
−150>0
C 11 (26)(1)>0 True
26> 0
The region A and C satisfy the inequality and since the inequality symbol is ¿, the
numbers -16 and 11 are not included in the solution set.
The graph is
A B C
- 15 10
Solution set
{ x|−15> x >10 }
