| Topic | Inequalities |
| Type | Solve quadratic inequality |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward C1 inequality question with two standard parts: (a) a linear inequality requiring simple rearrangement, and (b) a quadratic inequality solved by factorizing and testing regions. Both are routine textbook exercises with no problem-solving insight required, making this easier than average but not trivial. |
