3 The diagram shows the graph with equation \(y = (x + 2)(x - 7)\)

Solve the inequality.
\[(x + 2)(x - 7) \gt 0\]Tick (✓) one box. [1 mark]
- \(x \in (-\infty, -2) \cap (7, \infty)\)
- \(x \in (-\infty, -2) \cup (7, \infty)\)
- \(x \in (-\infty, -2] \cap [7, \infty)\)
- \(x \in (-\infty, -2] \cup [7, \infty)\)
