Math Problem Statement
|w| > 4. Graph the solution to the inequality on the number line.
Solution
The inequality in the image is . To solve and graph this on the number line, let's break it down:
Step 1: Interpret the inequality
The absolute value inequality means that the value of is more than 4 units away from 0. Therefore, could be either:
- Greater than 4 (i.e., ), or
- Less than -4 (i.e., ).
Step 2: Solution
So the solution to is:
Step 3: Graph on the number line
- Plot open circles at and because the inequality is strict (, not ).
- Shade to the left of and to the right of , indicating that is either less than or greater than .
This is how you would graph the solution on the number line.
Let me know if you'd like any additional details or explanations.
Here are five related questions to practice:
- How would the graph change if the inequality was ?
- What would be the solution to ?
- How do you solve and graph ?
- What are the key differences between solving and ?
- How do you solve absolute value inequalities that include variables on both sides, like ?
Tip: Always remember to use open or closed circles depending on whether the inequality is strict or includes equality!
