find the solution set ofthe following quadratic inequalities then graph
[tex]1. \: x {}^{2} - 6x + 5 > 0[/tex]


Sagot :

The solution set is [tex]x<1[/tex] or [tex]x>5[/tex]. Refer to attached file for the graph

Factoring the quadratic expression, we find that

[tex]x^2-6x+5=(x-1)(x-5)[/tex]

So, the quadratic inequality can be expressed as

[tex](x-1)(x-5)>0[/tex]

We have two possible cases: both of them is greater than zero or both of them is less than zero. That is,

[tex]\begin{cases} x-1>0 \\ x-5>0\end{cases}or \begin{cases} x-1<0 \\ x-5<0 \end{cases}[/tex]

Solving each, we get

[tex]\begin{cases} x>1 \\ x>5 \end{cases}or \begin{cases}x<1\\x<5 \end{cases}[/tex]

In the first case, we get the solution [tex]x>5[/tex], and in the second case, we get the solution as [tex]x<1[/tex].
