8m^{2}-8\left(m+1\right)\left(3m-2\right)\geq 0
Multiply -1 and 8 to get -8.
8m^{2}+\left(-8m-8\right)\left(3m-2\right)\geq 0
Use the distributive property to multiply -8 by m+1.
8m^{2}-24m^{2}-8m+16\geq 0
Use the distributive property to multiply -8m-8 by 3m-2 and combine like terms.
-16m^{2}-8m+16\geq 0
Combine 8m^{2} and -24m^{2} to get -16m^{2}.
16m^{2}+8m-16\leq 0
Multiply the inequality by -1 to make the coefficient of the highest power in -16m^{2}-8m+16 positive. Since -1 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
16m^{2}+8m-16=0
To solve the inequality, factor the left hand side. Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
m=\frac{-8±\sqrt{8^{2}-4\times 16\left(-16\right)}}{2\times 16}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 16 for a, 8 for b, and -16 for c in the quadratic formula.
m=\frac{-8±8\sqrt{17}}{32}
Do the calculations.
m=\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4} m=\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}
Solve the equation m=\frac{-8±8\sqrt{17}}{32} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
16\left(m-\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\right)\left(m-\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\right)\leq 0
Rewrite the inequality by using the obtained solutions.
m-\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\geq 0 m-\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\leq 0
For the product to be ≤0, one of the values m-\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4} and m-\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4} has to be ≥0 and the other has to be ≤0. Consider the case when m-\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\geq 0 and m-\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\leq 0.
m\in \emptyset
This is false for any m.
m-\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\geq 0 m-\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\leq 0
Consider the case when m-\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\leq 0 and m-\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\geq 0.
m\in \begin{bmatrix}\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4},\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\end{bmatrix}
The solution satisfying both inequalities is m\in \left[\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4},\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\right].
m\in \begin{bmatrix}\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4},\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\end{bmatrix}
The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
