Question 8 • TX-Precalculus A
The zeros are x = −1, 2, and 3. Each has odd multiplicity, so the expression changes sign at each zero; since it is positive for x > 3, it is negative on (2, 3) and (−∞, −1). Because the inequality includes equality, include all three zeros, giving (−∞, −1] ∪ [2, 3], choice B.
