We have to find the solutions of 3x^2 + 6x <
9
3x^2 + 6x <
9
=> 3x^2 + 6x - 9 <
0
=> x^2 + 2x - 3 <
0
=> x^2 + 3x - x - 3
<0
=> x(x + 3) -1 (x + 3) <
0
=> (x - 1)(x + 3) <
0
For (x - 1)(x + 3) to be less than 0 , either of them
should be less than 0
=> x - 1 < 0 and x + 3
> 0
=> x < 1 and x >
-3
This gives a set of values as (-3 ,
1)
x - 1 > 0 and x + 3 <
0
=> x > 1 and x < -3 gives no
solutions.
As x is an integer (-3 , 1) implies (-2 , -1 ,
0)
So x can have the values (-2 , -1 ,
0).
