For what range of values of x is x\(^2\) - 2x - 3 ≤ 0

  • A. {x: -1 ? x ? 3}
  • B. { x: -3 ? x ? 1}
  • C. { x: -3 ? x ? -1}
  • D. { x: 1 ? x ? 3}

Correct Answer: A. {x: -1 ? x ? 3}

Explanation

Let x\(^2\) - 2x - 3 = 0;

(x+1)(x-3) = 0

The zeros of the function are x = -1 and 3

The solution set is { x: -1 ≤ x ≤ 3}
