To create a quintic polynomial inequality with the given conditions, we need to find a polynomial of degree 5, where x = -4, x = 0, and x = 2 are the solutions.
Let's start by writing the equation in factored form, using the given solutions:
(x + 4)(x - 0)(x - 2)(x - p)(x - q) ≤ 0
Here, p and q are any real numbers that we can choose, as long as they are not equal to -4, 0, or 2, since those are the given solutions.
Now, let's solve the inequality using an interval chart.
First, let's identify the critical points by setting each factor of the equation equal to zero and solving for x:
x + 4 = 0 => x = -4
x - 0 = 0 => x = 0
x - 2 = 0 => x = 2
Now, we place these critical points on a number line:
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
-------|-------|-------|-------
```
Next, let's choose test values for each interval. We can choose any values that are not equal to -4, 0, or 2. Let's choose x = -5, x = -3, x = 1, and x = 3.
Now, substitute these test values into the inequality:
For (x + 4): (-5 + 4) = -1
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
- --------|*******|-------
| | |
x = -5 x = -3 x = 1 ...
```
For (x - 0): (-3 - 0) = -3
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
- --------|*******|-------
| | |
x = -5 x = -3 x = 1 ...
```
For (x - 2): (1 - 2) = -1
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
- --------|*******|-------
| | |
x = -5 x = -3 x = 1 ...
```
Now, let's consider each interval and determine the sign of the product (x + 4)(x - 0)(x - 2)(x - p)(x - q):
- For -∞ to -4: The product is negative because there are an odd number of factors (negative sign on (x + 4)).
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
- --------|*******|-------
| | |
x = -5 x = -3 x = 1 ...
(-)
```
- Between -4 and 0: The product is positive as there are an even number of factors.
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
- --------|*******|-------
| | |
x = -5 x = -3 x = 1 ...
(-) (+)
```
- Between 0 and 2: The product is negative again as there are an odd number of factors.
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
- --------|*******|-------
| | |
x = -5 x = -3 x = 1 ...
(-) (+) (-)
```
- After 2: The product is positive since there are an even number of factors.
```
-∞ -4 0 2 ∞
- --------|*******|-------
| | |
x = -5 x = -3 x = 1 ...
(-) (+) (-) (+)
```
From the interval chart, we can see that the product is negative or equal to zero in the intervals (-∞, -4], (0, 2), and [p, q], where p and q are any real numbers between -4 and 0 or between 2 and ∞.
Therefore, a quintic polynomial inequality that satisfies the given conditions is:
(x + 4)(x - 0)(x - 2)(x - p)(x - q) ≤ 0, where p and q are any real numbers between -4 and 0 or between 2 and ∞.
