Problem

Solve the inequality
Solution
We can build a sign chart, but since all of the factors are linear, we can track what happens to the expression as increases. At the expression is positive. As increases past 1, the expression becomes negative. As increases past 2, the expression becomes positive, and so on. Thus, the solution is
Final answer
(-\infty,1) \cup (2,3) \cup (4,5) \cup (6,\infty)
