Short Answer

x3+2x2-3x >0

The required interval is (-3,0)(1,)

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given Information 

x3+2x2-3x>0

This is given to us . we need to solve for x .

Step 2. Factorization

x(x2 +2x-3)>0x(x2 +3x-x-3)>0x(x(x+3)-1(x+3))>0x(x-1)(x+3)>0

The zeros of the equation are 0, 1 & -3

Step 3.  Dividing the number line into intervals using the above zeros.

The intervals are :

(-,-3)(-3,0)(0,1)(1,)

Step 4. Evaluating the value of function 

1. (-,-3)let number be -4value of function at -4 =-20condition not satisfied.2. (-3,0)Let number be -1value of function at -1 =4The condition is satisfied.3. (0,1)let number be 0.1value of function at 0.1 =-0.099condition not satisfied.4.(0,)Let number be 2value of function at 2 =10The condition is satisfied.

Step 5. conclusion

The required interval is (-3,0)(1,)
