Answer:

3 and -5

Explanation:

(x-3)(x+5)greater than and =0​

separate

(1).

x - 3 > 0

add 3 to both sides

x > 3

(2).

x + 5 > 0

subtract 5 from both sides

x > -5

So, The solutions are 3 and -5

Answer:
(-\infty,-5]\ U\ [3,\infty)

Explanation:

Given the inequality
(x-3)(x+5)\geq 0, to find the solutions, we need to follow this procedure:

- First case:


x-3\geq 0 and
x+5\geq 0

Solve for the variable "x":


x\geq 0+3\\x\geq 3


x\geq 0-5\\x\geq -5

Then:


x\geq 3

- Second case:


x+5\leq 0 and
x-3\leq 0

Solve for the variable "x":


x\leq 0-5\\x\leq -5


x\leq 0+3\\x\leq 3

Then:


x\leq-5

Finally, the solution is:


(-\infty,-5]\ U\ [3,\infty)
