To solve the inequality x^2 + 7x < 0, we need to find the values of x that make the expression less than 0.
First, let's factor the expression x^2 + 7x:
x(x+7) < 0
Now we need to find the critical points where x(x+7) = 0:
x = 0 and x = -7
These points divide the number line into three intervals:
We can now test each interval by plugging in any number from that interval into x(x+7) to see if it is less than 0.
For x < -7, let's choose x = -8:-8(-8+7) = -8(-1) = 8, which is not less than 0.
For -7 < x < 0, let's choose x = -1:-1(-1+7) = -1(6) = -6, which is less than 0.
For x > 0, let's choose x = 1:1(1+7) = 1(8) = 8, which is not less than 0.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality x^2 + 7x < 0 is -7 < x < 0.
Next, let's solve the quadratic equation 2x^2 - x - 6 = 0:
We can factor this quadratic equation as follows:2x^2 - x - 6 = 0(2x + 3)(x - 2) = 0
Setting each factor equal to 0:2x + 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
Solving these equations gives us:2x = -3 or x = 2x = -3/2 x = 2
Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation 2x^2 - x - 6 = 0 are x = -3/2 and x = 2.

Now we need to find the critical points where x(x+7) = 0:

These points divide the number line into three intervals:
x < -7-7 < x < 0x > 0We can now test each interval by plugging in any number from that interval into x(x+7) to see if it is less than 0.
For x < -7, let's choose x = -8:
-8(-8+7) = -8(-1) = 8, which is not less than 0.
For -7 < x < 0, let's choose x = -1:
-1(-1+7) = -1(6) = -6, which is less than 0.
For x > 0, let's choose x = 1:
1(1+7) = 1(8) = 8, which is not less than 0.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality x^2 + 7x < 0 is -7 < x < 0.
