Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for x
0<x<3
Alternative Form
x∈(0,3)
Evaluate
3x−x2>0
Rewrite the expression
3x−x2=0
Factor the expression

Evaluate
3x−x2
Rewrite the expression
x×3−x×x
Factor out x from the expression
x(3−x)
x(3−x)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x=03−x=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
3−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−3
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=3
x=0x=3
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<00<x<3x>3
Choose a value form each interval
