Subtract 77: Step 1: Subtract 77 from both sides of the inequality.x2+4x−77>0
Factorize expression: Step 2: Factorize the quadratic expression.x2+4x−77= (x+11)(x−7)
Find critical points: Step 3: Set the factors equal to zero to find critical points. x+11=0→x=−11x−7=0→x=7
Test intervals: Step 4: Test the intervals determined by the critical points in the inequality (x+11)(x−7)>0.- Test x=−12: (−12+11)(−12−7)=(−1)(−19)=19>0- Test x=0: (0+11)(0−7)=11(−7)=−77<0- Test x=8: (8+11)(8−7)=19(1)=19>0
Write solution: Step 5: Write the solution based on the test results.The expression (x+11)(x−7)>0 when x<−11 or x>7.
