y = X2 - 3x + 2, $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 2x - 3
at turning pt, $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 0
∴ 2x - 3 = 0
∴ x = $\frac{3}{2}$
$\frac{d^{2}y}{d{x}^2}$ = $\frac{d}{dx}$($\frac{d}{dx}$)
= 270
∴ ymin = 2$\frac{3}{2}$ - 3$\frac{3}{2}$ + 2

(x2 + x - 12) $\ge$ 0 , (x - 3)(x + 4) $\ge$ 0
For the condition to hold, each of (x - 3) and (x + 4) must be of the same sign
.i.e. x - 3 $\ge$ 0 and x + 4 $\ge$ 0
or x - 3$\le$ 0 and x + 4 $\le$ 0
when x $\ge$ 3, the condition is satisfied
when x $\ge$ -4, the condition is not satisfied.
when x $\le$ 3, the condition is not satisfied
when x $\le$ -4 , the condition is not satisfied. Thus, the solution of the inequality is x $\ge$ 3 or x $\le$ -4 ,
