Question

How do you solve `x^2 + 3x - 14 <= 14`?

Answer 1

Solve quadratic inequality:`f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 28 <= 0`

Explanation:

First solve f(x) = 0 by the new Transforming Method.
Factor pairs of -28. Roots have different signs
Proceed: (--2, 14)(-4, 7). This sum is 3 = b. Therefor, the 2 real roots are the opposite: x = 4 and x = -7.

Next, plot (-7) and (4) on a number line. The parabola opens upward (a > 0), then, between the 2 x-intercepts,`f(x) <= 0.`

Answer by closed interval: [-7, 4]
