$20000 < - 2 x^{2} + 640 x < 40000$

Step 1

Divide each term in the inequality by $- 2$ .

$\frac{20000}{- 2} > \frac{- 2 x^{2}}{- 2} + \frac{640 x}{- 2} > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 2

Divide $20000$ by $- 2$ .

$- 10000 > \frac{- 2 x^{2}}{- 2} + \frac{640 x}{- 2} > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 3.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$- 10000 > \frac{- 2 x^{2}}{- 2} + \frac{640 x}{- 2} > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 3.1.2

Divide $x^{2}$ by $1$ .

$- 10000 > x^{2} + \frac{640 x}{- 2} > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 3.2

Step 3.2.1

Factor $2$ out of $640 x$ .

$- 10000 > x^{2} + \frac{2 (320 x)}{- 2} > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 3.2.2

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{320 x}{- 1}$ .

$- 10000 > x^{2} - 1 \cdot (320 x) > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 3.3

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot (320 x)$ as $- (320 x)$ .

$- 10000 > x^{2} - (320 x) > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 3.4

Multiply $320$ by $- 1$ .

$- 10000 > x^{2} - 320 x > \frac{40000}{- 2}$

Step 4

Divide $40000$ by $- 2$ .

$- 10000 > x^{2} - 320 x > - 20000$

Step 5

To isolate a single $x$ variable, take the root of degree $2$ of each expression.

$\sqrt{- 10000} > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 6

Rewrite $- 10000$ as $- 1 (10000)$ .

$\sqrt{- 1 \cdot 10000} > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 7

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (10000)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{10000}$ .

$\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{10000} > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 8

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$i \cdot \sqrt{10000} > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 9

Rewrite $10000$ as $100^{2}$ .

$i \cdot \sqrt{100^{2}} > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 10

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$i \cdot | 100 | > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 11

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $100$ is $100$ .

$i \cdot 100 > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 12

Move $100$ to the left of $i$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x^{2} - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 13.1

Factor $x$ out of $x^{2}$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x \cdot x - 320 x} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 13.2

Factor $x$ out of $- 320 x$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x \cdot x + x \cdot - 320} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 13.3

Factor $x$ out of $x \cdot x + x \cdot - 320$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > \sqrt{- 20000}$

Step 14

Rewrite $- 20000$ as $- 1 (20000)$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > \sqrt{- 1 \cdot 20000}$

Step 15

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (20000)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{20000}$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > \sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{20000}$

Step 16

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > i \cdot \sqrt{20000}$

Step 17

Step 17.1

Factor $10000$ out of $20000$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > i \cdot \sqrt{10000 (2)}$

Step 17.2

Rewrite $10000$ as $100^{2}$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > i \cdot \sqrt{100^{2} \cdot 2}$

Step 18

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > i \cdot (| 100 | \sqrt{2})$

Step 19

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $100$ is $100$ .

$100 i > \sqrt{x (x - 320)} > i \cdot (100 \sqrt{2})$

Step 20

Move $100$ to the left of $i$ .
