Answer:


\large \bf{x < 1} \\ \tt{ or }\\ \large \bf{ x > 5}

Explanation:


\bf \longrightarrow {x}^(2) - 6x + 5 > 0

  • Solve for x² - 6x + 5


\bf \longrightarrow{x}^(2) - 6x + 5 \\ \bf \longrightarrow {x}^(2) - 5x - 1x + 5 \\ \bf \longrightarrow x(x - 5) - 1(x - 5) \\ \bf \longrightarrow(x - 5)(x - 1)


\implies(x - 5)(x - 1) > 0


\tt{( {x}^(2) = x * x \: \: , \: \: 5 = ( - 1) * ( - 5)}


\implies \tt{x < 1 \: or \: x > 5}

[ 5 and 1 are roots of (x - 5)(x - 1) = 0. So, if you draw a function makes it a little bit clear. ]

Answer:


\textsf{Solution: \quad $x < 1$ or $x > 5$}


\textsf{Interval notation: \quad $(- \infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty)$}

Explanation:

Given inequality:


x^2-6x+5 > 0

Factor the quadratic to find the x-intercepts

To factor a quadratic in the form
ax^2+bx+c, find two numbers that multiply to
ac and sum to
b:


\implies ac=a \cdot 5=5


\implies b=-6

Therefore, the two numbers are: -1 and -5.

Rewrite
b as the sum of these two numbers and equal the quadratic to zero:


\implies x^2-x-5x+5 = 0

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:


\implies x(x-1)-5(x-1) = 0

Factor out the common term (x - 1):


\implies (x-5)(x-1) = 0

The x-intercepts are when the curve crosses the x-axis (when y=0).

Therefore, the x-intercepts are:


(x-5)=0 \implies x=5


(x-1)=0 \implies x=1

As the leading coefficient of the quadratic is positive, the parabola opens upwards. Therefore, to find the solution of the inequality, find the interval where the curve is positive (above the x-axis).

The curve is above the x-axis when x < 1 or x > 5.

Therefore, the solution to the quadratic inequality is:


\textsf{Solution: \quad $x < 1$ or $x > 5$}


\textsf{Interval notation: \quad $(- \infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty)$}
