Answer:

(-∞, -4] U [1, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is:


f(x)=2(x-1)(x+4)^3

Since f(x) ≥ 0, we are going to find the range of values of x for which f(x) ≥ 0

By carefully observing the graph shown:

f(x) ≥ 0 for values of x less than or equal to -4, and also for values of x greater than or equal to 1.

This can be written mathematically as:

x ≤ -4 or x ≥ 1

This can be written in interval notation as:

(-∞, -4] U [1, ∞)
