Finding Positive Domains: Solve (x-1/2)(-x+7/2) > 0

To solve this problem, we'll determine when the product $(x - \frac{1}{2})(-x + 3\frac{1}{2})$ is positive. This involves finding the roots of the equation and testing the intervals between these roots:

Step 1: **Determine the roots of the factors.**
- The first factor $x - \frac{1}{2} = 0$ gives the root $x = \frac{1}{2}$.
- The second factor $-x + 3\frac{1}{2} = 0$ gives the root $x = 3\frac{1}{2}$.

Step 2: **Identify intervals based on these roots.**
- The roots divide the $x$-axis into three intervals: $x < \frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{1}{2} < x < 3\frac{1}{2}$, and $x > 3\frac{1}{2}$.

Step 3: **Analyze the sign of the function in each interval.**
- For $x < \frac{1}{2}$:
- $x - \frac{1}{2} < 0$ and $-x + 3\frac{1}{2} > 0$, so the product is negative.
- For $\frac{1}{2} < x < 3\frac{1}{2}$:
- Both $x - \frac{1}{2} > 0$ and $-x + 3\frac{1}{2} > 0$, so the product is positive.
- For $x > 3\frac{1}{2}$:
- $x - \frac{1}{2} > 0$ and $-x + 3\frac{1}{2} < 0$, so the product is negative.

Therefore, the intervals where $y > 0$ are $\frac{1}{2} < x < 3\frac{1}{2}$.

This matches the given correct answer choice: $\frac{1}{2} < x < 3\frac{1}{2}$.
