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<8
Alternative Form
x∈(0,8)
Evaluate
8x−x2>0
Rewrite the expression
8x−x2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
8x−x2
Rewrite the expression
x×8−x×x
Factor out x from the expression
x(8−x)
x(8−x)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x=08−x=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
8−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−8
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=8
x=0x=8
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<00<x<8x>8
Choose a value form each interval
