Procedures:
Step (2):
we have y = (x – 2)(x – 3) ,
i.e. y = 0, when x = 2 or x = 3.
Factorize x

The corresponding quadratic function is
y = x

– 5x + 6 > 0,
The portion of the
graph above the x-axis
represents y > 0
(i.e. x

– 5x + 6 > 0)
The portion of the
graph below the x-axis
represents y < 0
(i.e. x
