Math Problem Statement
answer in inequality notation
Determine all intervals on which f(x) ≥ 0.
Solution
To determine the intervals where , we will examine the graph and identify where the function lies on or above the x-axis (i.e., where the function is either positive or zero).
From the graph:
- The function crosses the x-axis at approximately , , .
- The function is above or on the x-axis in the intervals:
- From to (including the points where , i.e., and ).
- From onwards (since the function remains positive beyond ).
Thus, the intervals where are:

Tip: When solving graph-based questions, always identify the critical points (such as where the graph crosses the x-axis) to break down the intervals.
