For which value(s) of x is f(x)>0

Let's say that

f

(

x

)

=

x

2

−

10

The graph below shows

y

=

f

(

x

)

:

graph{x^2-10 [-6, 6, -15, 15]}

When we want

f

(

x

)

>

0

, we want

y

>

0

, or all the values of

x

where

f

(

x

)

>

0

.

In this instance,

x

2

−

10

>

0

x

2

>

10

x

>

√

x

−

√

Proof:

x=10:

=

=

=

=

x=1:

−

=

x=-1:

(

=

=

x=-6

(

=

x=-10:

(

)

−

=

=

it's the only multiple of both and the least
