Answer

$[0,1]$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Rewrite the inequality as $-x(x-1)\geq0$ or $x(x-1)\leq0$ and the boundary points are $x=0,1$ Step 2. Using the test points to examine signs across the boundary points, we have $...(+)...(0)...(-)...(1)...(+)...$ Thus the solutions are $0\leq x\leq 1$ Step 3. We can express the solutions on a real number line as shown in the figure. Step 4. We can express the solutions in interval notation as $[0,1]$
