Answer

$[2, 5]$

Work Step by Step

$x^2-7x+10\leq0$ $(x-2)(x-5) \leq 0$ $x-2=0$ $x=2$ $x-5=0$ $x=5$ (-infinity, $2]$ $[2, 5]$ $[5$, infinity) Let $x=0$, $x=3$, and $x=10$ $x=0$ $(x-2)(x-5) \leq 0$ $(0-2)(0-5) \leq 0$ $-2*-5\leq 0$ $10 \leq 0$ (false) $x=3$ $(x-2)(x-5) \leq 0$ $(3-2)(3-5) \leq 0$ $1*-2\leq 0$ $-2 \leq 0$ (true) $x=10$ $(x-2)(x-5) \leq 0$ $(10-2)(10-5) \leq 0$ $8*5\leq 0$ $40 \leq 0$ (false)
