Problem

For what values of is nonnegative? Answer as an interval.
Solution
First we factor from the numerator, Now we see the square of a binomial in the numerator, so our expression is equal to The denominator only has the single (real) root , and we can make more sense of that by applying the difference of cubes factorization Now we can factor the entire rational function as Note that the denominator is always positive. The factor changes sign at the factor changes sign at and the factor changes sign at We build a sign chart accordingly.

Also, the expression is equal to 0 at and so the solution to is
Final answer
[0,2)
