00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.748
Here is the problem: x squared minus 4x plus 4 greater than 0.

2
00:00:05.199 --> 00:00:08.891
Solve the inequality and give the answer in interval notation.

3
00:00:09.691 --> 00:00:18.654
Move everything to one side and factor. A sign chart needs the form f(x) compared with 0, written as a product/quotient of factors.

4
00:00:19.104 --> 00:00:22.877
Find the critical points. The sign can only change at 2 (zero).

5
00:00:23.327 --> 00:00:38.373
Test one point in each interval (sign chart). (-∞, 2): test x equals 1 → sign plus → included; (2, ∞): test x equals 3 → sign plus → included.

6
00:00:38.823 --> 00:00:41.784
Decide the endpoints. 2: excluded.

7
00:00:42.584 --> 00:00:44.093
Write the solution set.

8
00:00:44.893 --> 00:00:47.912
So the answer is (-∞, 2) ∪ (2, ∞).

9
00:00:48.362 --> 00:01:04.488
The inequality holds exactly for x in (-∞, 2) ∪ (2, ∞). 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.

10
00:01:05.288 --> 00:01:08.690
x equals 1: satisfies the inequality.

11
00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:12.669
x equals 3: satisfies the inequality.
