Examples of Quadratic Inequalities

Solve the quadratic equation equal to zero


Put your two solutions on a number line
Mark in the 3 regions: if your two roots are and where is the smaller root, the regions will
be or , then or , and finally or
Test a value in each region in the original inequality to see whether it is true or false (as a
shortcut, the regions always alternate true and false, so you can get away with trying just one
value)
The solution to the inequality is the regions where the inequality is true

Example 1
x2 x 6 0

Example 2
4 x x2 0

Question
x2 4x 3 0
