### Inequalities and Graphing Relations

**3. Solve the following inequalities and represent the solution in interval notation. Show your work!**

**(a) \(6x^2 - 4 \geq 5x + 2\)**

**(b) \(x|x - 4| < 3\)**

**4. Sketch the graph of the relation \(R = \{(x, y) \mid x^2 - 2x - 2 \leq y \leq 2x - x^2 + 2\}\).**

### Instructions for Students:

1. **Solving Inequalities:**
   - For each inequality, isolate the variable \(x\) and determine the solution set.
   - Convert the solution set into interval notation, which is a way of writing subsets of the real number line.

2. **Graphing the Relation:**
   - Identify the boundaries defined by the inequalities. 
   - Draw the graphs of these boundary equations on a coordinate plane.
   - Shade the region that represents the solution to the inequalities.

### Detailed Graph Explanation:

In problem 4, you will be plotting two quadratic functions to determine the region where the inequalities hold:
- The first boundary is \(y = x^2 - 2x - 2\).
   - This is a parabola opening upwards.
- The second boundary is \(y = 2x - x^2 + 2\).
   - This is a parabola opening downwards.

### Steps to Graph:
1. **Find Vertex and Intercepts:**
   - Determine the vertex of each parabola.
   - Find the x-intercepts by solving \(x^2 - 2x - 2 = 0\) and \(2x - x^2 + 2 = 0\).

2. **Plot Points:**
   - Plot the vertex and intercept points on a graph.
   - Draw the parabolas using these points.

3. **Shading the Region:**
   - Identify the region between these two curves.
   - Shade the area where the inequality \(x^2 - 2x - 2 \leq y \leq 2x - x^2 + 2\) holds.

By following these steps, you will understand how to solve inequalities and represent them graphically, a crucial skill in algebra and calculus.
