Evaluate
−4x2×2x
Multiply the terms
−8x2×x
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
−8x2+1
Add the numbers
−8x3
−8x3>8x−4
Move the expression to the left side
−8x3−(8x−4)>0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−8x3−8x+4>0
Rewrite the expression
−8x3−8x+4=0
Factor the expression
−4(2x3+2x−1)=0
Divide both sides
2x3+2x−1=0
Calculate
x≈0.423854
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<0.423854x>0.423854
Choose a value form each interval
x1=−1x2=1
To determine if x<0.423854 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value x=−1 satisfies the initial inequality
