Answer:

-5/2+-1/2√37≤x≤-5/2+1/2√37

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the critical points

-x^2-5x+3=0

For this equation: a=-1, b=-5, c=3

−1x^2+−5x+3=0

x=−b±√b2−4ac/2a

x=−(−5)±√(−5)2−4(−1)(3)/2(-1)

x=5±√37 /−2

x=-5/2+1/2√37

Step 2: Check intervals in between critical points

x≤-5/2+1/2 √37 (Doesn't work in original inequality)

-5/2+-1/2√37≤x≤-5/2+1/2√37 (Works in original inequality)

x≥-5/2+1/2 √37 (Doesn't work in original inequality)
