Question

Theorem: For any real number x, if (x - 1)(x+5) <0
then - 5 < x < 1
Suppose that the theorem is proven by contrapositive, so the proof starts by assuming that it is not the case that - 5 <x< 1
and then shows that (x - 1)(x+5) ²0
What are the two cases that cover the set of x in the assumption?
O a. Case 1: x 2-5, Case 2: x ≥ 1
O b. Case 1: x2-5, Case 2: x ≤ 1
O c. Case 1: x ≤-5, Case 2: x
1
d. Case 1: x ≤-5, Case 2: x ≤ 1

Introduction:

The contrapositive of "if A then B" is a proposition or theorem that is generated by opposing both the subject and predicate or both the hypothesis and conclusion of a given proposition or theorem and exchanging them.
