x^{2}+2x\left(-14\right)+5\geq 0
Subtract 15 from 1 to get -14.
x^{2}-28x+5\geq 0
Multiply 2 and -14 to get -28.
x^{2}-28x+5=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.
x=\frac{-\left(-28\right)±\sqrt{\left(-28\right)^{2}-4\times 1\times 5}}{2}
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 1 for a, -28 for b, and 5 for c in the quadratic formula.
x=\frac{28±2\sqrt{191}}{2}
Do the calculations.
x=\sqrt{191}+14 x=14-\sqrt{191}
Solve the equation x=\frac{28±2\sqrt{191}}{2} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
\left(x-\left(\sqrt{191}+14\right)\right)\left(x-\left(14-\sqrt{191}\right)\right)\geq 0
Rewrite the inequality by using the obtained solutions.
x-\left(\sqrt{191}+14\right)\leq 0 x-\left(14-\sqrt{191}\right)\leq 0
For the product to be ≥0, x-\left(\sqrt{191}+14\right) and x-\left(14-\sqrt{191}\right) have to be both ≤0 or both ≥0. Consider the case when x-\left(\sqrt{191}+14\right) and x-\left(14-\sqrt{191}\right) are both ≤0.
x\leq 14-\sqrt{191}
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x\leq 14-\sqrt{191}.
x-\left(14-\sqrt{191}\right)\geq 0 x-\left(\sqrt{191}+14\right)\geq 0
Consider the case when x-\left(\sqrt{191}+14\right) and x-\left(14-\sqrt{191}\right) are both ≥0.
x\geq \sqrt{191}+14
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x\geq \sqrt{191}+14.
x\leq 14-\sqrt{191}\text{; }x\geq \sqrt{191}+14
The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
