To solve a polynomial inequality, it is required to first change the inequality sign to an equal sign and then solve the resulting equation.
The given inequality is:

Change the inequality sign to the equal sign to get the resulting equation to solve for:

The graph of this equation forms the boundary curve of the solution region in the cartesian plane.
Hence, the real solutions of this equation are called the boundary points.
