10 1-10 Solving second-degree inequalities

The method

  • Step 1: move all terms to one side and leave zero on the other.
  • Step 2: solve the corresponding equation to get the zeros.
  • Step 3: use the sign of the function to select the intervals, writing the solution set in interval or set notation.

Points of care

  • Multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number reverses the sign.
  • Δ < 0 with a > 0: the quadratic is always positive, so ">" and "≥" give ℝ while "<" and "≤" give ∅.
  • Δ = 0 with a > 0: x²-type expression ≥ 0 on ℝ, but > 0 on ℝ − {r}.
  • A non-strict inequality includes the zeros; a strict one excludes them.
