Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Polynomial Inequalities
Polynomial inequalities involve expressions where a polynomial is compared to a value using inequality signs (e.g., <, >, ≤, ≥). To solve these inequalities, one typically finds the roots of the corresponding polynomial equation and tests intervals between these roots to determine where the inequality holds true.

Graphing on a Number Line
Graphing the solution set of an inequality on a number line visually represents the values that satisfy the inequality. Solutions are indicated with open or closed circles depending on whether the endpoints are included (open for < or >, closed for ≤ or ≥), and shaded regions show the intervals of solutions.

Interval Notation
Interval notation is a mathematical notation used to represent a range of values. It uses parentheses to denote open intervals (not including endpoints) and brackets for closed intervals (including endpoints). For example, the interval (2, 5] includes all numbers greater than 2 and up to 5, including 5.
