Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve for p
−771≤p≤771
Alternative Form
p∈[−771,771]
Evaluate
p×p−687≤84
Multiply the terms
p2−687≤84
Move the expression to the left side
p2−687−84≤0
Subtract the numbers
p2−771≤0
Rewrite the expression
p2−771=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
p2=0+771
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
p2=771
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
p=±771
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
p=771p=−771
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
p<−771−771<p<771p>771
Choose a value form each interval
p1=−29p2=0p3=29
To determine if p<−771 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value p=−29 satisfies the initial inequality

Check the inequality
false
p<−771 is not a solution−771<p<771 is the solutionp>771 is not a solution
The original inequality is a nonstrict inequality,so include the critical value in the solution
−771≤p≤771 is the solution
Solution
−771≤p≤771
Alternative Form
p∈[−771,771]
Show Solution
