See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given Information

The given inequality is 4x2+9<6x.

Step 2. Find the Intercepts

  • Rewrite the inequality in standard form.

4x2+9-6x<0

  • There are no real roots of 4x2+9-6x=0, so, there are no x-intercepts of the curve.
  • The value of f(0)=9.
  • So, the y-intercept is (0,9).
  • Find x=-b2a to find the x - intercept of the vertex of parabola.

x=68

  • The value of f68=274 .
  • So, the vertex is 68,274.

Step 3. Plot the Graph

  • Plot the parabola on a graph using the vertex and intercepts calculated in the previous step.

Step 4. Find the region below x-axis

  • From the graph, there is no region that lies below the x-axis.
  • So, the given inequality has no solution.
