Solve: x^2-x-12÷x+5 ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x3−x2+5x−12

x

≥0

Let's find the critical points of the inequality.

x3−x2+5x−12

x

=0

x3−x2+5x−12=0(Multiply both sides by x)

(Use cubic formula)

x=1.836169

Check possible critical points.

x=1.836169(Works in original equation)

Critical points:

x=1.836169(Makes both sides equal)

x=0(Makes left denominator equal to 0)

Check intervals in between critical points. (Test values in the intervals to see if they work.)

x<0(Works in original inequality)

0<x≤1.836169(Doesn't work in original inequality)

x≥1.836169(Works in original inequality)

x<0 or x≥1.836169
