SOLVE FACTORABLE POLYNOMIAL INEQUALITIES ALGEBRAICALLY

1. Solve each inequality. Show each solution on a number line.


a) 3x – 2 > 7 b) 3 – x  5
c) 5x – 11 > 2x + 1 d) 4(2 – 3x)  2x – 6

2. Solve using cases. Show each solution on a number line.


a) (x + 2)(x – 3)  0 b) (2x + 1)(x – 2) < 0

3. Solve using intervals. Show each solution on a number line.


a) (x + 4)(3x – 5) > 0 b) (3x + 2)(x – 1)  0

4. Solve.
a) (x + 2)(x – 4)(x – 6)  0 b) (3x + 5)(2x – 1)(x – 3)  0

8. A certain type of candle is packaged in boxes that measure 36 cm by 15 cm


by 8 cm. The candle company that produced the above packaging has now
designed shorter candles. A smaller box will be created by decreasing each
dimension of the larger box by the same length. The volume of the smaller box
will be at the most 930 cm3. What are the maximum dimensions of the smaller
box?

9. Solve using intervals.


3x4 + 10x3 + 12  2x5 + 15x2 + 8x
