  • This video will describe how to solve a polynomial inequality. A table is used to examine the individual factors and when they are positive or negative. The table allows us to put this information together and see where the overall polynomial is positive or negative. For more videos please visit www.mysecretmathtutor.com

    This was the most helpful video ever. With quarantine in place, my teacher gives me video notes (taken herself) and talks through them, but sometimes will not use the notes at all, and if they're poorly explained the book cant help you. Seems like the sign chart was one of those days for her, shes got us testing today and I think I'll do better than if I hadnt watched it. I was wondering why all the factoring was so important with her notes, but I get it now!!!

    thank you SO SO much from Kazakhstan! we’ve started calculus 2 this year and I saw that I have a problem with simple things such as chart sign, and noticed that my teachers just said basic stuff like “look at the sign of first x and change them as you go”. it could work for simple ones, but I like this method more :)
    thank you so much, hope you’re having a good day! you’re wonderful teacher

    Great tutorial! I'm having a hard time figuring out how you factored the polynomial at the start though? When grouping, the second set doesn't seem to have a greatest common denominator, and when trying to use the rational zero theorem I don't get the right answer either (though I am very likely not doing it right). Do you have a video on how you factored that specific polynomial? Very new to this, so sorry if I'm missing something super obvious :D

    I understood everything other then the way you factored it down to (x + 5)^2 (4x + 3) (x - 4) > 0. I tried looking at other videos including yours but the factoring is much simplier. My guess is factoring by grouping???

    what I don't always understand is how the original greater than symbol > or < at the start of the question influences whether you're looking for the positive or negative symbols in that final step when building intersections.

    • @MySecretMathTutor

      greater than zero, or > 0 means we are looking for positive values. Less than zero, or < 0 means we are looking for negative values.

      It's pretty advance factoring if someone from Algebra 2 is trying to solve polynomial inequalities. So I think he was thrown off by the initial step, because it's not covered in those classes, for me anyway because I was never taught the rational root theorem to do this factoring.

      For the interval -4 < x < -1 you can only choose values that are BETWEEN that interval. 0 and -1 are not values that are BETWEEN. Only -2 and -3 are values of interest since they are between and you got negative results when you tested those two values.

      Lets say i have a motion of a piston and it is shown on a graph as a sin function. your boss wants to know how much time the piston spends in the top end of the chamber apossed to the bottom of the chamber. Your job then could be to list the Thermodynamic heat transfer diffrence between the two or all sorts of data about the piston.
