Given the function


f(x)=x^2-5x

For f(x) < 0, we have:


x^2-5x<0

And solve for x by factor:


x(x-5)<0

Separate the solutions:


\begin{gathered} x>0 \\ and \\ x-5<0 \\ x-5+5<0+5 \\ x<5 \end{gathered}

The values for x in inequality form:


0Or in interval notation:[tex](0,5)

Answer:

values of x: 0 < x < 5
