SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving an inequality problem involving a polynomial of degree higher than 6, specifically requiring the solution set of x < -3, 0 < x < 2, or 2 < x < 6. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding polynomial factors and suggest that the original poster (OP) should reference their textbook for similar examples. The key takeaway is that the polynomial will have roots at x = -3, x = 0, x = 2, and x = 6, which indicates the necessary factors for constructing the polynomial.
