Question

What is the solution to the inequality mc012-1.jpg?
–3 > n > –2
2 < n < 3
n < –3 or n > –2
n < 2 or n > 3

Answer 1

I can't see the image file mc012-1.jpg. Could you either paste the inequality text here or re-upload the image?

If you meant a factored quadratic inequality, here are the common possibilities so you can check:

- If the inequality is (n + 3)(n + 2) < 0, the solution is -3 < n < -2. (note: that must be written with -3 < n < -2, not "-3 > n > -2".)
- If it is (n - 2)(n - 3) < 0, the solution is 2 < n < 3.
- If it is (n + 3)(n + 2) > 0, the solution is n < -3 or n > -2.
- If it is (n - 2)(n - 3) > 0, the solution is n < 2 or n > 3.

If you post the exact inequality I’ll pick the correct option and show the steps.
