Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
x>7
Alternative Form
x∈(7,+∞)
Evaluate
x2(x−7)>0
Rewrite the expression
x2(x−7)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=0x−7=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−7=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=7
x=0x=7
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<00<x<7x>7
Choose a value form each interval
x1=−1x2=4x3=8
To determine if x<0 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value x=−1 satisfies the initial inequality
