Find the range of values of x for which 2x\(^2\) + 7x - 15 ≥ 0.

  • A. x ? -5 or x ? \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  • B. x ? -5 or x ?\(\frac{3}{2}\)
  • C. -5 ? x ? \(\frac{3}{5}\)
  • D. \(\frac{3}{5}\) ? x ? -5

Correct Answer: A. x ? -5 or x ? \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Explanation

2x\(^2\) + 7x - 15 ≥ 0

2x\(^2\) -3x + 10x - 15 ≥ 0

x(2x - 3) + 5(2x - 3) ≥ 0

(x+5)(2x-3) ≥ 0

the points on x-axis where the graph ≥ 0

x ≤ -5 or x ≥ \(\frac{3}{2}\)
