Answer :

From the information given,

(x - 3)(x - 5) < 0

We would find where it is equal to zero. Thus,

x - 3 = 0 or x - 5 = 0

x = 3 or x = 5

It is equal to zero at x = 3 and x = 5

Between 3 and 5, the function will either be always greater than 0 or always less than 0. Since we don't know yet, we would test. Let us pick a value in-between 3 and 5 and test it.

Assuming we picked 4

At x = 4, we have

(4 - 3)(4 - 5) < 0

1 * - 1 < 0

- 1 < 0
