by use sketching determine the range  or(ranges) of the value x can take for  each of the following inqualities  (i) 3x^2 −19x−6≤0  (ii)2x^2 −5x−3≥0

is that true for (i) 3x^2 −19x−6≤0   not 3x^2 −19x+6 ?

$$\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{true}\:\mathrm{for}\:\left(\mathrm{i}\right)\:\mathrm{3x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{19x}−\mathrm{6}\leqslant\mathrm{0}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{3x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{19x}+\mathrm{6}\:? \\ $$

(ii) 2x^2 −5x−3=0         (2x+1)(x−3)=0           2x+1=0  or  x−3=0             x=−(1/2)           x=3  ++++    −−−−     ++++  ______•______•______               −(1/2)               3  x≤−(1/2)   or   x≥3
