Answer

$(-∞, -1.236) U (0,2) U (3.236, ∞)$

Work Step by Step

This question asks for a graph to solve the inequality. Thus, I shall be using Desmos to solve these inequalities with the zeros of the function stated in the graph. Given $f(x)=x^4 - 4x^3 + 8x > 0$ In the graph below, the zeros are at x= -1,236, 0, 2, 3,236 From (-∞, -1.236), (0,2), and (3.236, ∞), the graph is above 0. Thus the solution is $(-∞, -1.236) U (0,2) U (3.236, ∞)$
