Math Problem Statement

Graph the solution of the system of linear inequalities: -2 ≤ x < 3

Solution

The system of linear inequalities given is:

2x<3-2 \leq x < 3

This inequality represents all values of xx that are between 2-2 and 33, including 2-2 but not including 33. To graph this on a number line:

  1. Place a closed circle at 2-2 to indicate that 2-2 is included in the solution set.
  2. Place an open circle at 33 to indicate that 33 is not included in the solution set.
  3. Shade the region between 2-2 and 33 to show all the values xx that satisfy the inequality.

This visually demonstrates that any xx in the interval [2,3)[-2, 3) is a solution.

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this information:

  1. How would the graph change if the inequality were 2<x3-2 < x \leq 3?
  2. What is the difference between an open and a closed circle on a number line?
  3. How would you write the interval notation for this solution set?
  4. How can this inequality be represented on a coordinate plane instead of a number line?
  5. What would the graph look like if the inequality were x>2x > -2 and x3x \leq 3?

Tip: When graphing inequalities, remember that a closed circle means the endpoint is included (≤ or ≥), while an open circle means it is not included (< or >).
