Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
x≤0
Alternative Form
x∈(−∞,0]
Evaluate
3x5≤−7x×8
Multiply the terms
3x5≤−56x
Move the expression to the left side
3x5−(−56x)≤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
3x5+56x≤0
Rewrite the expression
3x5+56x=0
Factor the expression
x(3x4+56)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=03x4+56=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3x4+56=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3x4=0−56
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3x4=−56
Since the left-hand side is always positive or 0,and the right-hand side is always negative,the statement is false for any value of x
x∈/R
x=0x∈/R
Find the union
x=0
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<0x>0
Choose a value form each interval
x1=−1x2=1
To determine if x<0 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value x=−1 satisfies the initial inequality

Check the inequality
false
x<0 is the solutionx>0 is not a solution
The original inequality is a nonstrict inequality,so include the critical value in the solution
x≤0 is the solution
