Solve quadratic inequality:
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,
Answer by closed interval: [-7, 4]
Graph:
----------------|0---------|-7=========|0=======|4----------------
