Question

Which inequality written in factored form represents the graphed region?

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

The shaded area is the area GREATER than ('>') the graph (it is ABOVE the graph)

the two zeroes (where it crosses the x -axis) of the graph are - 6 and 18

so the parabola is y = (x+6)(x-18)

but we want the shaded region so it becomes y> (x+6)(x-18)

It is '>' because the shaded area DOES NOT INCLUDE the graph line (that is why it is a dashed line)
