Answer

Final Answer: \(\boxed{a. \left(-\infty,-\frac{57}{16}\right]}\) and \(\boxed{d. \left[-\frac{5}{8}, \infty\right)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Simplify the expression: \(12x^2 + (13 + 14 + 15 + 16)x - (18 + 19 + 20)\)

Step 2 :Calculate the solutions: \(x = -\frac{29}{12} + \frac{5\sqrt{61}}{12}\) and \(x = -\frac{5\sqrt{61}}{12} - \frac{29}{12}\)

Step 3 :Determine the intervals: \(x = -\frac{29}{12} + \frac{5\sqrt{61}}{12}\) belongs to option d, and \(x = -\frac{5\sqrt{61}}{12} - \frac{29}{12}\) belongs to option a

Step 4 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{a. \left(-\infty,-\frac{57}{16}\right]}\) and \(\boxed{d. \left[-\frac{5}{8}, \infty\right)}\)
