Problem Solving (PS) | If z^2 – 4z > 5, which of the following is always true?

$
0

Hi, answer must be E.

As z^2 - 4z > 5
=> z^2 - 4z - 5 > 0
(z - 5)(z + 1) > 0

when -1 < z < 5, (z-5)(z+1) < 0 always
when z = -1 or 5, (z-5)(z+1) = 0
when z < -1 or z > 5, then (z-5)(z+1) > 0 always

since none of the options match z < -1 or z > 5, answer must be E
