TGM Original Questions

When solving a quadratic inequality a graphical method is used to find the range of values of \(x\).

Range of values of \(x\)

\( (x - p)(x - q) < 0 \)

\( p < x < q\)

\( (x - p)(x - q) > 0 \)

\(x < p\) or \(x > q \)

\( (x - p)(x - q) \leq 0 \)

\( p \leq x \leq q \)

\( (x - p)(x - q) \geq 0 \)

\(x\le p\) or \(x\ge q\)

The table assumes two distinct real roots \(p<q\).
