Here , in this equation ( x 2 − 9 ) ( x + 8 ) ( x − 1 ) ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) < 0 = ( x − 3 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x + 8 ) ( x − 1 ) ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) < 0
Multiplying ( x − 3 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x + 8 ) in Numerator And Denominator, We get
( x − 3 ) 2 ( x + 3 ) 2 ( x + 8 ) 2 ( x − 1 ) ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x − 3 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x + 8 ) < 0
Hence As Denominator is > 0 ( As all are squares)
We get
( x − 1 ) ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x − 3 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x + 8 ) < 0
Hence,
By wavy Curve Method,
It looks something like this,
Now as we have to find for < 0 , We will take the negetive part
hence x ϵ (- 8 , -4) U (-3 , -2) U (1, 3))
Hence now see, x must be integers
So Between − 8 and − 4 , we get − 5 , − 6 , − 7 ----> 3 Solutions
For − 3 to − 2 , 0 solutions as No integer is there in between
and Between 1 to 3 we have 2 , So 1 solutions
Hence Total Solutions = 3 + 1 + 0 = 4
