00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.017
Here is the problem: 4x plus 5 less than or equal to 0.

2
00:00:04.467 --> 00:00:08.217
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:09.017 --> 00:00:16.877
Move everything to one side and isolate the variable. Collect terms: 4x plus 5 less than or equal to 0.

4
00:00:17.327 --> 00:00:34.951
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, negative 5 over 4): test x equals negative 3 → sign minus → included; (negative 5 over 4, ∞): test x equals 0 → sign plus → excluded.

5
00:00:35.401 --> 00:00:42.704
Decide the endpoints. negative 5 over 4: included (the expression equals 0 and the sign allows equality).

6
00:00:43.154 --> 00:00:44.663
Write the solution set.

7
00:00:45.463 --> 00:00:49.050
So the answer is (-∞, negative 5 over 4].

8
00:00:49.500 --> 00:01:05.684
The inequality holds exactly for x in (-∞, negative 5 over 4]. Points where the expression is undefined are never included, and endpoints are included only for less than or equal to or greater than or equal to where the expression equals zero.

9
00:01:06.484 --> 00:01:10.443
x equals negative 3: satisfies the inequality.

10
00:01:10.893 --> 00:01:14.701
x equals 0: does not satisfy the inequality.
