Answer

$(-∞, -1] U [3/2, ∞) $

Work Step by Step

$2x^2 \geq x + 3$ $2x^2 - x - 3 \geq 0$ Find the zeros of the expression. $(2x - 3)(x +1)$ $x = -1, 3/2$ Test numbers in between those zero values to determine if the function is negative or positive (-∞, -1] $(-)(-) = (+)$ [-1, 3/2] $(-)(+) = (-)$ [3/2, ∞) $(+)(+)= (+)$ Thus the solution is $(-∞, -1] U [3/2, ∞) $
