Dear neeraj

f(x)=(x-2)²(1-x)(x-3)³(x-4)²/(x+1) ≤ 0

 (x-2)2 (x-3)2(x-4)2   is always positive

at x=2,3,4   (x-2)2 (x-3)2(x-4)2 is  zero 

so x=2,3,4 is a solution  

 

now for  (1-x)(x-3)/(x+1) ≤ 0

  or        (x-1)(x-3)/(x+1) ≥ 0

so silution is [-1,1] and [3,∞) 

 

so final solution   [-1,1] and [3,∞)  and 2

-(x-2)2 (x-1)(x-3)3 (x-4)2 /(x+1)≤0

(x-2)2 (x-1)(x-3)3 (x-4)2 /(x+1)≥0

equate every linear factor by 0,

x=1,2,3,4,-1

by ploting the values nof x on no line we get,

x Ε (-∞,-1]υ[1,2]υ[3,4]υ[4,∞)
