TypeSolve quadratic inequality
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a straightforward quadratic inequality requiring only recognition that the product is negative when factors have opposite signs, leading to x < 1 or x > 4. Being multiple choice with 1 mark makes it even more routine than a standard inequality question.
