The inequality is represented by the polynomial y ≥ 3.6 · (x - 11.5) · (x + 3.5).
What is the expression of the quadratic inequality?
Herein we must derive the quadratic expression within an inequality of the y ≥ f(x) based on its two roots and a known point on the curve. We can find the coefficients of the quadratic function by solving this system of linear equations:
(x₁, y₁) = (- 3.5, 0)
12.25 · a - 3.5 · b + c = 0 (1)
(x₂, y₂) = (11.5, 0)
132.25 · a + 11.5 · b + c = 0 (2)
(x₃, y₃) = (8.5, - 54)
72.25 · a + 8.5 · b + c = - 54 (3)
The solution of the system is a = 3.6, b = - 54, c = 144.9.
Thus, the inequality is represented by the polynomial y ≥ 3.6 · x² - 54 · x + 144.9, whose factored form is determined by the quadratic formula:
y ≥ 3.6 · (x² - 15 · x + 40.25)
y ≥ 3.6 · (x - 11.5) · (x + 3.5)
