In this section we will examine:
- How to solve quadratic inequalities.
Solving quadratic inequations
When solving quadratic inequalities it is more complex than linear inequations. To solve quadratic inequalities use the following steps:
- Solve the quadratic inequality as a regular equation.
- Graph the quadratic.
- Determine which interval(s) satisfy the inequality from the graph.
