5 white
Given:

To find:
The interval(s) on which the given function is positive.
Solution:
We have,





For zeroes, 


-1 and 5 divide the number line in three parts

So, the function is positive for interval
and
.
We can say that the function is positive for interval x < -1 and x > 5.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
X<y
|x|>y
This is fairly simple. X is obviously a negative number, and can be as well, though the value of y isn't terribly important so long as it is a larger number than x.
It could be x= -91, y=-90, or it could be x= -2, y=3, as two examples.
The absolute value sign stipulation is a clue that the contents are probably a negative number
