Chapter 3: Problem 24

Solve each polynomial inequality in Exercises \(1-42\) and graph the solution set on a real number line. Express each solution set in interval notation. $$ -x^{2}+2 x \geq 0 $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the polynomial inequality is \(x \in [0, 2]\).

Step by step solution

01

Rewrite the Inequality

The inequality \(-x^{2}+2 x \geq 0\) can be rewritten as \(x^2 - 2x \leq 0\).
02

Factoring the Polynomial

Now, factor the polynomial on the left-hand side. The equation becomes \(x(x - 2) \leq 0\). This provides the zeros of the polynomial, which are x = 0 and x = 2.
03

Test the Intervals

The real numbers are divided into three intervals by the zeros: \((-鈭�, 0)\), \((0, 2)\), and \((2, 鈭�)\). Pick a test point from each interval: let's say -1, 1, and 3 and plug these points into the factored inequality. If the inequality is true for the test point, then it's true for the entire interval. Our test returns that the inequality is true only for the interval between 0 and 2.
04

Graphing the Solution

Plot on a number line with a closed circle at 0 and 2 to indicate that the endpoints are included in the solution set, as the original inequality is 'less than or equal to' not 'less than'. Fill in the line segment between the endpoints.
05

Express the Solution in Interval Notation

The solution represented on the number line can be written in interval notation as \([0, 2]\). The square brackets include the endpoints.

Divide 737 by 21 without using a calculator. Write the answer as quotient \(+\frac{\text { remainder }}{\text { divisor }}\)

In Exercises \(98-99,\) use a graphing utility to graph \(f\) and \(g\) in the same viewing rectangle. Then use the \([\mathrm{ZOOMOUT}]\) feature to show that \(f\) and \(g\) have identical end behavior. $$f(x)=-x^{4}+2 x^{3}-6 x, \quad g(x)=-x^{4}$$

There is more than one third-degree polynomial function with the same three x-intercepts.

In Exercises 41鈥�64, a. Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the graph鈥檚 end behavior. b. Find the x-intercepts. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis, or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each intercept. c. Find the y-intercept. d. Determine whether the graph has y-axis symmetry, origin symmetry, or neither. e. If necessary, find a few additional points and graph the function. Use the maximum number of turning points to check whether it is drawn correctly. $$f(x)=(x-2)^{2}(x+4)(x-1)$$
