(x-2)^2(x+4)<0
The answer will come from one, or more, of these intervals :
(- inf, -4), (-4, 2) and (2. inf)
If we pick 0 in the middle interval and 3 in the last interval as "test" points, the inequality is not true
If we pick any x value less than -4, the inequality is true
So.....the first interval is the solution interval........here's a graph to prove this : https://www.desmos.com/calculator/7xydhdwnzl
