Calculations:

Given,1.5 ≤ x ≤ 4.5

So critical points are x = 1.5 = \(\frac 3 2\) or x = 4.5 = \(\frac 9 2\)

⇒ 2x - 3 = 0 or 2x - 9 = 0

Changing inequality into equality form

∴ (2x - 3)(2x - 9) = 0

As we can see in the wavy curve value of (2x - 3)(2x - 9) is negative.

(2x - 3)(2x - 9) ≤ 0

Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
