Answer:

0, 5 and 9

Explanation:

The critical points for any inequality are the points for which the numerator of the denominator equal 0.

Here, we are given the following inequality:


\frac { x^2 - 9x } { x - 5 } < 0

So the critical points will be where
x^2 - 9x = 0 and where
x - 5 = 0.


x^2 - 9x = 0


x (x - 9) = 0


x = 0 and x = 9


x - 5 = 0


x = 5

Therefore, the critical points for the given inequality are 0, 5 and 9.
