Full solution

Q. Solve for xx.\newline(x3)(x6)<0 (x - 3)(x - 6) < 0 \newlineWrite a compound inequality like 1<x<31 < x < 3 or like x<1x < 1 or x>3x > 3.
  1. Test Intervals: Test the intervals created by the critical points.\newlineIntervals: (,3)(-\infty, 3), (3,6)(3, 6), (6,)(6, \infty).
  2. Check Sign: Check the sign of (x3)(x6)(x - 3)(x - 6) over (,3)(-\infty, 3).\newlineChoose a test point, like x=0x = 0.\newlineSign of (03)(0 - 3): -.\newlineSign of (06)(0 - 6): -.\newlineSign of (x3)(x6)(x - 3)(x - 6): ((-(-) = +.
  3. Check Sign: Check the sign of (x3)(x6)(x - 3)(x - 6) over (3,6)(3, 6).\newlineChoose a test point, like x=4x = 4.\newlineSign of (43)(4 - 3): +.\newlineSign of (46)(4 - 6): -.\newlineSign of (x3)(x6)(x - 3)(x - 6): (+)()=(+)(-) = -.
  4. Check Sign: Check the sign of (x3)(x6)(x - 3)(x - 6) over (6,)(6, \infty). Choose a test point, like x=7x = 7. Sign of (73)(7 - 3): +. Sign of (76)(7 - 6): +. Sign of (x3)(x6)(x - 3)(x - 6): (+)(+)=+(+)(+) = +.
  5. Write Solution: (x - 3)(x - 6) < 0 is true for the interval (3,6)(3, 6).\newlineWrite the solution as a compound inequality.\newlineCompound inequality: 3 < x < 6.
