To find the value of x for which (x^2 - 1) > 0, we need to factorize the expression. (x^2 - 1) can be written as (x - 1)(x + 1). So now we have: (x - 1)(x + 1) > 0 For the product of two factors to be greater than zero, either both factors must be positive or both factors must be negative. If (x - 1) and (x + 1) are both positive, then x > 1. If (x - 1) and (x + 1) are both negative, then x < -1. Therefore, the solution is: x < -1 or x > 1 which means option (A) is the correct answer.
