1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the inequality x25x+6<0x^2 - 5x + 6 < 0. Also, given a graph, we need to determine (a) the range of the function, (b) the zeros of the function, (c) the y-intercept, (d) the equation of the axis of symmetry, and (e) the variation of the function.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's solve the inequality x25x+6<0x^2 - 5x + 6 < 0.
We can factor the quadratic expression:
x25x+6=(x2)(x3)x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x-2)(x-3).
So we want to find the values of xx for which (x2)(x3)<0(x-2)(x-3) < 0.
We can analyze the sign of the expression by considering the intervals determined by the roots x=2x=2 and x=3x=3.
If x<2x < 2, then x2<0x-2 < 0 and x3<0x-3 < 0, so (x2)(x3)>0(x-2)(x-3) > 0.
If 2<x<32 < x < 3, then x2>0x-2 > 0 and x3<0x-3 < 0, so (x2)(x3)<0(x-2)(x-3) < 0.
If x>3x > 3, then x2>0x-2 > 0 and x3>0x-3 > 0, so (x2)(x3)>0(x-2)(x-3) > 0.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality x25x+6<0x^2 - 5x + 6 < 0 is 2<x<32 < x < 3.
Now let's analyze the graph:
a) The range (contradomínio) of the function is the set of all possible yy-values. From the graph, the maximum yy-value is approximately 3.25-3.25. The graph extends downwards indefinitely. So the range is (,3.25](-\infty, -3.25].
b) The zeros of the function are the xx-values where the graph intersects the xx-axis. From the graph, the zeros are approximately x=0.8x = 0.8 and x=4.2x = 4.2.
c) The y-intercept (ordenada na origem) is the yy-value where the graph intersects the yy-axis. From the graph, the y-intercept is approximately y=4y = -4.
d) The equation of the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex of the parabola. The vertex appears to be at x=2.5x = 2.5. So the equation of the axis of symmetry is x=2.5x = 2.5.
e) The variation of the function describes how the yy-value changes as xx increases.
The function is increasing for x<2.5x < 2.5 and decreasing for x>2.5x > 2.5.

3. Final Answer

Solution to the inequality: 2<x<32 < x < 3
Analysis of the graph:
a) Range: (,3.25](-\infty, -3.25]
b) Zeros: x0.8x \approx 0.8 and x4.2x \approx 4.2
c) Y-intercept: y4y \approx -4
d) Axis of symmetry: x=2.5x = 2.5
e) Increasing for x<2.5x < 2.5, decreasing for x>2.5x > 2.5
