Question

solve \\(x^2 - 6x + 5 > 0\\) by looking at the graph.

Explanation:

Identify x-intercepts from the graph

$$ x = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 5 $$

Determine where the graph is above the x-axis

$$ y > 0 \implies x < 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 5 $$

Express the solution in interval notation

$$ (-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty) $$

Answer:

\(x < 1\) or \(x > 5\) (or in interval notation: \((-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty)\))
