quadratic inequalities using a general method and guide you through solving them step-by-step.

🔷 How to Solve Quadratic Inequalities Using Graphs
Quadratic inequalities are of the form:
- $ ax^2 + bx + c > 0 $
- $ ax^2 + bx + c < 0 $
- $ ax^2 + bx + c \geq 0 $
- $ ax^2 + bx + c \leq 0 $
To solve them
using a graph, follow these steps:
---
✔ Step-by-Step Solution Method
1.
Graph the quadratic function $ y = ax^2 + bx + c $.
- Find the vertex: $ x = -\frac{b}{2a} $
- Find the y-intercept: $ (0, c) $
- Find the x-intercepts (roots): solve $ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 $
- Determine the direction of the parabola:
- If $ a > 0 $: opens
upward
- If $ a < 0 $: opens
downward
2.
Identify where the graph satisfies the inequality:
- For $ > 0 $: parts of the graph
above the x-axis
- For $ < 0 $: parts of the graph
below the x-axis
- Include endpoints if inequality is $ \geq $ or $ \leq $
3.
Write the solution in interval notation based on the shaded regions.

Let’s go through an example from the worksheet (assuming one of the problems is):
>
Example: Solve $ -2x^2 + 3x + 5 > 0 $

🧮 Example Walkthrough: $ -2x^2 + 3x + 5 > 0 $
#### Step 1: Graph the quadratic
- $ a = -2 $ → parabola
opens downward
- Find roots using quadratic formula:
$$
x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(-2)(5)}}{2(-2)} = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9 + 40}}{-4} = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{49}}{-4}
$$
$$
x = \frac{-3 \pm 7}{-4}
$$
So,
- $ x = \frac{-3 + 7}{-4} = \frac{4}{-4} = -1 $
- $ x = \frac{-3 - 7}{-4} = \frac{-10}{-4} = 2.5 $
So, the roots are $ x = -1 $ and $ x = 2.5 $
#### Step 2: Sketch the graph
- Parabola opens
downward
- Crosses x-axis at $ x = -1 $ and $ x = 2.5 $
- The graph is
above the x-axis
between the roots
#### Step 3: Apply inequality
We want $ y > 0 $ → above x-axis → between the roots
So the solution is:
$$
(-1, 2.5)
$$
(Note: open interval because inequality is strict (>), not ≥)

🔁 General Pattern for Each Problem
For each problem on your worksheet:
| Problem | Inequality | Steps |
|--------|------------|-------|
| 1. $ -2x^2 + 3x + 5 > 0 $ | As above | Solve $ = 0 $, sketch, pick region above x-axis |
| 2. $ x^2 - 12x + 12 \geq 0 $ | Roots: use quadratic formula, open up, shade outside roots |
| 3. $ -x^2 + 4x + 5 < 0 $ | Opens down, find roots, shade outside (below) |
| etc. | Same process |

💡 Tips:
- Always
factor if possible, otherwise use
quadratic formula
- Use
test points between intervals to confirm sign
- On the graph,
shade the region that satisfies the inequality
- Label the
x-intercepts and
vertex clearly
---
📌 Final Answer Format (for each problem):
After solving:
- Write the
solution set in interval notation
- Shade the correct region on the provided graph
