Q. Solve for x.(x+1)(x−4)>0Write a compound inequality like 1<x<3 or like x<1 or x>3.______
Plot Zeros and Test Intervals: Plot the zeros on a number line and test the intervals.Intervals: (−∞,−1), (−1,4), (4,∞).
Test Interval (−∞,−1): Test the interval (−∞,−1) by picking a number like x=−2.(−2+1)(−2−4)>0?(−1)(−6)>0? Yes, it's positive.
Test Interval (−1,4): Test the interval (−1,4) by picking a number like x=0.(0+1)(0−4)>0?(1)(−4)>0? No, it's negative.
Test Interval 4,∞):</b>Testtheinterval$4,∞)bypickinganumberlike$x=5.(5+1)(5−4)>0?(6)(1)>0? Yes, it's positive.
Write Compound Inequality: Write the solution as a compound inequality.The inequality is true for x in (−∞,−1) and (4,∞).Compound inequality: x<−1 or x>4.
