Solve Polynomial Inequalities

Interactive practice questions

We want to find the x-values that satisfy the inequality$\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)<0$(x3)(x2)<0.

a

Find the $x$x-values of the $x$x-intercepts of the curve described by $y=\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)$y=(x3)(x2).

Write both answers on the same line separated by commas.

b

Find the $y$y-value of the $y$y-intercept of the curve.

c

Hence plot the curve for $y=\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)$y=(x3)(x2).
