To find the intervals where the inequality is true, we will first find the critical points by setting each factor equal to zero:
x^2 - 6x + 10 = 0 This is a quadratic equation that does not have real roots, so this factor does not contribute to the critical points.
x - 3 = 0 x = 3
x^2 - 9 = 0 x^2 = 9 x = ±3
So, the critical points are x = -3, x = 3, and x=-3.
Next, we will test each interval created by the critical points (i.e., (-∞, -3), (-3, 3), (3, ∞)) by plugging in test points into the original inequality:
Test x = -4 (in (-∞, -3)): (-4)^2 - 6*(-4) + 10 < 0 16 + 24 + 10 < 0 50 < 0 This is false, so (-∞, -3) is not part of the solution.
Test x = 0 (in (-3, 3)): (0)^2 - 6*(0) + 10 > 0 10 > 0 This is true, so (-3, 3) is part of the solution.
Test x = 4 (in (3, ∞)): (4)^2 - 6*(4) + 10 > 0 16 - 24 + 10 > 0 2 > 0 This is true, so (3, ∞) is part of the solution.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality (x^2-6x+10)(x-3)(x^2-9) > 0 is x ∈ (-3, 3) U (3, ∞).
