Answer

$x \leq -\frac{3}{2}~~$ or $~~x \geq 1$ The solution set is $~~(-\infty, -\frac{3}{2}]\cup [1,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$(2x+3)(x-1) \geq 0$ When $~~x=-\frac{3}{2}~~$ or $~~x=1,~~$ then $~~(2x+3)(x-1) = 0$ When $x \lt -\frac{3}{2},~~$ then $~~(2x+3)(x-1) \gt 0$ When $-\frac{3}{2} \lt x \lt 1,~~$ then $~~(2x+3)(x-1) \lt 0$ When $x \gt 1,~~$ then $~~(2x+3)(x-1) \gt 0$ Solution: $x \leq -\frac{3}{2}~~$ or $~~x \geq 1$ The solution set is $~~(-\infty, -\frac{3}{2}]\cup [1,\infty)$
