Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for x
x∈(−∞,0)∪(1,+∞)
Evaluate
x−x2<0
Rewrite the expression
x−x2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
x−x2
Rewrite the expression
x−x×x
Factor out x from the expression
x(1−x)
x(1−x)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x=01−x=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
1−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=1
x=0x=1
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
x<00<x<1x>1
Choose a value form each interval
x1=−1x2=21x3=2
To determine if x<0 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value x=−1 satisfies the initial inequality
