Math Problem Statement
Write an inequality that represents the graph. Use for the variable.
A graphed inequality with number line from negative five to five. There is an open circle at one. The arrow extends to the left.
Enter the correct answer in the box.
Solution
The graph you described suggests that the inequality represents all values less than 1, with an open circle at 1 indicating that 1 is not included in the solution.
Thus, the inequality is:
This inequality shows that can take any value less than 1, but not 1 itself.

- What is the difference between strict and non-strict inequalities?
Tip: When graphing inequalities, always pay attention to whether the circle is open or closed to correctly interpret whether the endpoint is included in the solution.
