Read the inequality, "the quadratic left-member is greater than zero".
Zero is the right-member of the inequality. The inequality as written is a single numberline graph.

%28x-1%29%28x-1%29%3E0;
the critical value for x is 1. This critical value separates the number line into the intervals x%3C1 and x%3E1. Testing both intervals will show that both intervals will satisfy the inequality. Understand clearly that x=1 IS NOT a solution for the inequality.
