and a transformation (mapping) figure:
Based on this we concluded that the solution was {x | -2<x<2}
= (-2,2).
After the analysis of the transformation figure we considered when x+2<0.... x< -2. We graphed this on a number line.
----------------0 +++++++++++++++ (x+2)
-2 0
Then we considered
f(x)=
5x2 + 3 < 23; so 5x2 - 20 < 0;
5(x+2)(x-2) < 0. We then scanned the line with information about the
factors (x+2) and (x-2) to investigate when the expression
5x2 - 20 would be positive, negative, or 0.
-------------------------0+++++++++ (x-2)
----------------0 +++++++++++++++ (x+2)
-2 0 2
+++++++++++0--------0+++++++++ 5(x+2)(x-2)
Thus -5x2 - 20 < 0 when 2<x<2... or x is in the interval (-2,2).

With this definition we have
g(0)=5, g(1)=6, g(-1)=6,g(2)=9, g(1/2)=21/4, g(t)=t2+5,
g(1+t)=(1+t)2+5, etc.

In fact, A = -2x2+140x but A also can be expressed
by A= -2(x-35)2 +2450. It should be clear from thinking about
this expression for A that A is at most 2450, since for any x other than
35, A will be the result of subtracting a positive number from 2450.
