Math Problem Statement

Which set describes the graph? {x | x ≥ 2}, {x | x > 2}, {x | x < 2}, or {x | x = 2}

Solution

The graph shows a number line where the values start at 2 and continue to the right, including values greater than 2. The point at 2 is filled, indicating that the set includes the number 2. This suggests the inequality should include "greater than or equal to 2."

Thus, the set that describes the graph is:

{xx2}\{x \mid x \geq 2\}

This matches the first option, {xx2}\{x \mid x \geq 2\}.

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions for further practice:

  1. What would the graph of {xx>2}\{x \mid x > 2\} look like?
  2. How does the graph of {xx<2}\{x \mid x < 2\} differ from this one?
  3. Can you represent the set {xx3}\{x \mid x \geq 3\} on a number line?
  4. What does an open circle on a number line indicate about the inequality?
  5. How would the graph change if the set was {xx2}\{x \mid x \leq 2\}?

Tip: When analyzing inequalities on number lines, a filled-in circle means the number is included (≥ or ≤), while an open circle means it is not (strict inequalities > or <).
