**Solving Quadratic Inequalities**

### Inequality to Solve:
\[ (x - 10)(x - 8) \geq 0 \]

### Step-by-Step Solution and Graphing:

1. **Identify Key Points:**
   Find the critical points by setting each factor equal to zero:
   \[ x - 10 = 0 \implies x = 10 \]
   \[ x - 8 = 0 \implies x = 8 \]

2. **Choose Test Values:**
   Select test values in each of the regions created by the critical points and check the inequality:
   - Region 1: \( x < 8 \)
   - Region 2: \( 8 < x < 10 \)
   - Region 3: \( x > 10 \)
   
   Enter the test values from smallest to largest.

   - **Region 1:** Test value \( \_\_\_\_ \)
   - **Region 2:** Test value \( \_\_\_\_ \)
   - **Region 3:** Test value \( \_\_\_\_ \)

3. **Evaluate the Inequality:**
   Indicate whether the inequality is true or false for each test value.

   **Test Value** | **Inequality**
   -------------- | --------------
   \_\_\_\_       | Select an answer
   \_\_\_\_       | Select an answer
   \_\_\_\_       | Select an answer

4. **Graph the Solution:**
   Use the number line to plot the critical points and shade the regions where the inequality holds true.
   - Enter the test values on the number line below the table.
   - Draw the solution based on the true regions.

### Number Line

The number line below the table can be used to visualize the solution:

\[ 
3 \ 4 \ 5 \ 6 \ 7 \ 8 \ 9 \ 10 \ 11 \ 12 \ 13 \ 14 \ 15 \ 16 
\]

Options to draw the solution:
- **➡:** Draw arrow to show the region.
- **⬤:** Solid dot to include the endpoint in the solution.
- **◯:** Open dot to exclude the endpoint from the solution.

### Final Steps:
1. **Draw the solution above.**
2. **Write the solution as a compound inequality.**
