Math Problem Statement
Write a compound inequality that is represented by the graph.
Solution
The graph in the image represents a compound inequality based on a number line. The shading appears to cover the interval between -8 and -2, inclusive of both endpoints, as indicated by the closed circles at -8 and -2.
The compound inequality is:
This compound inequality can also be written using two separate inequalities, combined with "and":
Would you like further details or explanations? Here are some related questions:
- What is a compound inequality, and how does it differ from a regular inequality?
- How do you graph compound inequalities on a number line?
- Why do closed circles on a number line indicate inclusion of the endpoint?
- How would the inequality change if the circles were open instead of closed?
- How can compound inequalities be used to model real-world problems?
Tip: Always remember that closed circles indicate "inclusive" inequalities (≤ or ≥), while open circles represent strict inequalities (< or >).
