10.7 Exercises Do the exercises, and check your work. 1) When solving a quadratic inequality, how do you know when to include and when to exclude the endpoints in the solution set? 2) If a rational inequality contains a or symbol, will the endpoints of the solution set always be included? Explain your answer.
