    Can't solve polynomail
    I'm trying to solve the equation 2x^3+60x is less then or equal to 5x^2+37x
    I got it down to 2x^3-5x^2+23x=0 but I don't know what to do next. I think I'm supposed to factor but I can't figure that out either.
    I'm so lost. :eek:

    Factor, then do a sign analysis. The zeros of your factors will determine the intervals on which to do your sign analysis.
