Q. Solve for x.(x−5)(x+5)>0Write a compound inequality like 1<x<3 or like x<1 or x>3.______
Divide Intervals: Divide the number line into intervals using the critical points.Intervals: (−∞,−5), (−5,5), (5,∞).
Test (−∞,−5): Test the interval (−∞,−5) to determine the sign of (x−5)(x+5). Choose x=−6: (−6−5)(−6+5)=(−11)(−1)=11, which is positive.
Test (−5,5): Test the interval (−5,5) to determine the sign of (x−5)(x+5).Choose x=0: (0−5)(0+5)=(−5)(5)=−25, which is negative.
Test \(5, \infty): Test the interval \(5, \infty) to determine the sign of x - \(5)(x + 5). Choose x = \(6): \(6 - 5)(6 + 5) = (1)(11) = 11, which is positive.
Find Solution: Since we want (x - 5)(x + 5) > 0, we look for intervals where the product is positive.The solution is x < -5 or x > 5.
