Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the solution set of the quadratic inequality from the graph, we need to identify the regions where the function , represented by the curve, is either zero or positive.
-
Zeros of the function: From the graph, we see that at the points and , which are the x-intercepts.
-
Positive values: The function is positive above the x-axis. Looking at the graph, this occurs when , meaning the graph is at or above the x-axis within this interval.
Therefore, the solution set for the inequality is:

Here are 5 related questions you might consider:
- How would you solve the same inequality if the quadratic function were given as an equation instead of a graph?
- Can you describe the properties of quadratic functions based on their graph (vertex, direction)?
- How would you find the vertex of a quadratic function algebraically?
- What would change in the solution set if the inequality were instead of ?
- How do you determine the range of a quadratic function from its graph?
Tip: Always check for the intervals where the function crosses the x-axis when solving inequalities involving graphs.
