Real Number Line

A visual representation of all real numbers arranged in order of value on a straight, horizontal line.

Inequality

A mathematical statement that shows the relationship between quantities that are not necessarily equal, using symbols like <, >, ≤, and ≥.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The zeros of the function are -3, 0, and 3.
To determine the sign of the inequality for each interval, we can use test points:

Test x=-4: (-4)(-1)(-7)=-28<0, so the inequality is false for x<-3.
Test x=-2: (-2)(1)(-5)=10>0, so the inequality is true for -3Test x=1: (1)(4)(-2)=-8<0, so the inequality is false for 0Test x=4: (4)(7)(1)=28>0, so the inequality is true for x>3.

Therefore, the solution is x<-3 or 0
