Finite endpoints of all intervals should be integers. If there are no solutions, use the symbol \varnothing for the empty set. Use the set notation {a}\{a\} to represent an isolated solution aa. \newline\square

Q. Solve for xx\newline3(x+2)(x+5)>03(x+2)(x+5) > 0\newlineWrite the solution using interval notation. Use the union symbol \cup to express the solution as a union of disjoint intervals. Finite endpoints of all intervals should be integers. If there are no solutions, use the symbol \varnothing for the empty set. Use the set notation {a}\{a\} to represent an isolated solution aa. \newline\square
  1. Set Inequality to Zero: Set the inequality 3(x+2)(x+5)>03(x+2)(x+5) > 0 to zero to find the critical points. This gives us the equations x+2=0x+2 = 0 and x+5=0x+5 = 0. Solving for xx gives us x=2x = -2 and x=5x = -5.
  2. Divide Number Line: Use the critical points to divide the number line into intervals: (,5),(5,2), and (2,) (-\infty, -5), (-5, -2), \text{ and } (-2, \infty) .
  3. Test Intervals: Test a number from each interval in the inequality to determine where the inequality is true.\newlineFor (,5)(-\infty, -5), choose 6-6. Substituting 6-6 into the inequality gives 3(6+2)(6+5)=3(4)(1)=123(-6+2)(-6+5) = 3(-4)(-1) = 12, which is greater than 00.\newlineFor (5,2)(-5, -2), choose 3-3. Substituting 3-3 into the inequality gives 3(3+2)(3+5)=3(1)(2)=63(-3+2)(-3+5) = 3(-1)(2) = -6, which is not greater than 00.\newlineFor 6-600, choose 00. Substituting 00 into the inequality gives 6-633, which is greater than 00.
  4. Write Solution: Write the solution set in interval notation. The inequality is true for the intervals (,5)(-\infty, -5) and (2,)(-2, \infty).\newlineThe solution in interval notation is (,5)(2,)(-\infty, -5) \cup (-2, \infty).
