Answer:

See below

All the inequalities can be solved by making a table, but once they are simple factored quadratic expressions, we already know what interval it will have.

Explanation:

1)


x^2+9x+14>0

Factoring the expression, we have


(x+2)(x+7)>0

Considering that


(x+2)(x+7)=0

for
x = -2 and
x=-7 you can see that for


(x+2)(x+7)>0


x \\ot\in (-7, -2)

Therefore,


S = \{x\in\mathbb{R} : x<-7 \text{ or } x>-2 \}


S = (-\infty,-7)\cup (-2,\infty)

2)


x^2-10x+16<0

You can factor it again.


(x-2)(x-8)<0

You can make the table to solve all the inequalities, but once we have the expression
< 0, we know that


2<x<8, therefore,


S = (2, 8)

3)


2x^2+11x+12<0

Factoring we have


(2x+3)(x+4)<0

Find the solutions for


(2x+3)(x+4)=0

And we know that


-4<x<-(3)/(2)


S = \left(-4,-(3)/(2)\right)
