Understanding Quadratic Inequalities

A quadratic inequality is an inequality that involves a quadratic polynomial. It takes the form of ax² + bx + c compared to zero using inequality signs such as >, <, ≥, or ≤. Solving a quadratic inequality means finding the set of x values that satisfy the inequality.

This tool helps you solve these inequalities by:

  • Visualizing the Parabola: The graph shows the parabola of the quadratic function, helping you see where the function is above or below the x-axis.
  • Identifying Solution Intervals: The solution is presented as intervals on the number line, indicating the range of x values that satisfy the inequality.
  • Step-by-step Calculation: Although not explicitly shown step-by-step here, the tool performs calculations to find roots and determine the intervals.

Key Terms

  • Coefficients (a, b, c): These are the numbers in the quadratic equation. \'a\' determines the parabola's shape, \'b\' affects its position, and \'c\' is the y-intercept.
  • Inequality Type: Choose from > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), and ≤ (less than or equal to) to define the inequality.
  • Solution Interval: The final output, showing the range(s) of x that satisfy the given quadratic inequality.
