Examples: 1. x2 + x -12 0 3. 5 ≥ x2 − x
2. 7x2 -28 < 0 4. 2y2 + 1 ≤ 7y

How to solve quadratic inequality?

Quadratic inequalities can be solved using

A. Three Test Points;
B. Sign Graph; and
C. Graphing ( in two variables).

Study the examples given below.

Example 1: Find the solution set of x2 + 3x > 10

(1)2 + 3(1) -10 > 0 False
1 + 3 - 10 > 0
-6 > 0

x>2 4 x2 + 3x - 10 > 0
(4)2 + 3(4) -10 > 0 True
16 + 12 - 10 > 0
18 > 0

❏ Test the roots, x= -5

and x = 2 if it satisfies for x = -5 for x=2
the inequality.

x2 + 3x - 10 > 0 x2 + 3x - 10 > 0

25 - 15 - 10 > 0 4 + 6 - 10 > 0
10-10 > 0 10 - 10 > 0
0 > 0 False 0 > 0 False

Therefore, the inequality is true for any value of x in the interval < x < -5 or
2<x< but points -5 and 2 does not satisfy the inequality x2 + 3x - 10 > 0.

The solution set of the inequality x2 + 3x > 10 is .

There are quadratic inequalities that involve two variables. These inequalities can be
written in any of the following forms below, where a, b, and c are real numbers and
a .

y > ax2 + bx + c y ax2 + bx + c

y ax2 + bx + c y ax2 + bx + c

The solution set of quadratic inequalities in two variables can be determined

graphically. To do this, write the inequality as an equation, then show the graph.

Take note of the image of the following graphs for each quadratic inequality.

y  ax 2  bx  c y  ax 2  bx  c y  ax 2  bx  c y  ax 2  bx  c
y

Steps for graphing inequality:

1. Write the inequality to its corresponding equation.

2. Find the vertex of the parabola.
3. Construct table of values for x and y.
4. Sketch the parabola y= ax2 + bx + c
(dotted line for < or > , solid line for ; opens up if the coefficient of x is
positive or opens downward if negative)

5. Choose a test point and see whether it is a solution of the inequality.

6. Shade the appropriate region.
(if the point is a solution, shade where the point is, if it’s not a solution, shade the
other region)

y -3 0 1 0 -3

❏ sketch the parabola test

y= - x2 + 4x - 3 point
Note:
● The parabola opens

❏ Choose a test point Test point: (0, 0)

and see whether it is
a solution of the Substitute (0,0) to the inequality y > - x2 + 4x - 3
inequality.
y > - x2 + 4x - 3

❏ Answer Therefore, the entire region containing (0,0) represents

the solution set and we shade the outside region of the
parabola.
