Quadratic Inequalities

The document contains instructions on how to solve quadratic inequalities by: 1) Setting the quadratic equation equal to 0 to find x-intercepts 2) Sketching the graph to determine what values of x are above or below the x-axis 3) Writing the solution as an inequality based on the region(s) of the graph. Several examples are worked through step-by-step to demonstrate this process.

Factorise and solve the following:

x2 + 8x + 15 = 0 x2 + 3x – 18 = 0 5x2 + 16x + 3 = 0

x2 + 8x + 7 = 0 x2 – 3x – 18 = 0 2x² + 11x + 5 = 0

x2 + 9x + 20 = 0 x2 + 3x – 28 = 0 3x² + 4x + 1 = 0

x2 + 6x + 9 = 0 x2 – x – 12 = 0 8x² + 6x + 1 = 0

x2 – 6x + 5 = 0 x2 + 2x – 24 = 0 6x² + 13x + 6 = 0

x2 – 2x + 1 = 0 x2 - 7x + 12 = 0 6x² - 7x + 1 = 0

ax2 + bx + c > 0 …means “for what values of x is this
quadratic above the x axis”

e.g. x2 + x - 20 > 0

ax2 + bx + c < 0 …means “for what values of x is this


quadratic below the x axis”

e.g. x2 + x - 20 < 0
The shape of a quadratic
graph is a parabola.

When we solve a quadratic


equation, we are find the
points where the graph
intersects the x axis.
