\(x \in\left(-\infty,-\dfrac{3}{2}\right]\  \cup\  x \in [0,1] \)

Show Worked Solution

\(\left(2 x^2+3 x\right)(1-x)=x(2 x+3)(1-x)\)

\(x(2 x+3)(1-x) \geqslant 0\)

\(\text{Zeros at} \ \ x=0, x=-\dfrac{3}{2} \ \ \text{and} \ \ x=1\)

\(\text{At} \ \ x=-1: \ (-1)(1)(2)<0\)
 

\(\therefore \text{Graph} \geqslant 0 \ \ \text{for} \ \ x \in\left(-\infty,-\dfrac{3}{2}\right]\  \cup\  x \in [0,1] \)
