To solve this inequality, you need to find the values of x that satisfy the given condition.
Start by moving all the terms to one side of the inequality:
2x² + 4x ≥ 0
Now, factor out the common factor, which is 2:
2(x² + 2x) ≥ 0
Now, we can focus on solving the quadratic equation x² + 2x = 0. This can be factored as:
x(x + 2) = 0
This equation is satisfied when either x = 0 or x + 2 = 0.
For x = 0, substitute it back into the original inequality:
2(0)² + 4(0) ≥ 0 0 ≥ 0
This condition is true.
For x + 2 = 0, when x = -2, substitute it back into the original inequality:
2(-2)² + 4(-2) ≥ 0 8 - 8 ≥ 0 0 ≥ 0
This condition is also true.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 2x² + 4x ≥ 0 is x can be any real number, because any value of x satisfies the given condition.
