Q. Solve for xx.\newline(x1)(x+6)0(x - 1)(x + 6) \leq 0\newline Write a compound inequality like 1<x<31 < x < 3 or like x<1x < 1 or x>3x > 3.
  1. Plot Zeros and Test Intervals: Plot the zeros on a number line and test intervals.\newlineIntervals: (,6(-\infty, -6), (6,1(-6, 1), (1,)(1, \infty).
  2. Test x=7x = -7: Test x=7x = -7 in (x1)(x+6)(x - 1)(x + 6).\newline(71)(7+6)=(8)(1)=8(-7 - 1)(-7 + 6) = (-8)(-1) = 8, which is > 0.
  3. Test x=0x = 0: Test x=0x = 0 in (x1)(x+6)(x - 1)(x + 6).(01)(0+6)=(1)(6)=6(0 - 1)(0 + 6) = (-1)(6) = -6, which is < 0.
  4. Test x=2x = 2: Test x=2x = 2 in (x1)(x+6)(x - 1)(x + 6).(21)(2+6)=(1)(8)=8(2 - 1)(2 + 6) = (1)(8) = 8, which is > 0.
  5. Combine Intervals: Combine the intervals where the product is 0\leq 0. The solution is 6x1-6 \leq x \leq 1.
