A third way to express this solution is by using interval notation.

Arrows translate into infinity signs with parenthesis. Negative infinity always goes to the left. Positive infinity always goes to the right.

Negative infinity always goes to the left. Positive infinity always goes to the right.
Polynomial Inequalities • The graph of y=f(x) lies above the x-axis exactly when f(x)>0 and below the x-axis exactly when f(x)<0.
Practice Problem • Set the inequality “equal” to zero. • Graph on your graphing calculator. • Find the zeros. • Write the answer in interval notation.
Rational Inequalities • The behavior of a rational function f(x) is determined by the x-intercepts and asymptotes of the function.
