Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the problem shown in your image.
Inequality:
You are asked to graph the solution set for the inequality: This represents a double inequality, meaning that must be between and , inclusive.
Interval Notation:
In interval notation, this can be written as: This indicates that the endpoints, and , are included (hence the square brackets).
Graphing the solution:
You are asked to choose the correct graph. The solution should show a line segment from to with closed circles on both and because both values are included (due to the ).
Correct Graph:
Looking at the options:
- Option D is the correct graph because it shows the interval from to with closed circles at both endpoints.
Would you like a further breakdown of this problem or any related topics?
Here are 5 relative questions for expanding understanding:
- What is the difference between interval notation and set notation?
- How do you graph inequalities that use strict inequalities ( or )?
- What happens if an inequality has more than two variables, and how does that affect the graph?
- How would the graph change if one of the endpoints were not included (e.g., )?
- Can inequalities be solved similarly to equations? What are the main differences?
Tip: Always double-check whether the inequality includes or excludes the endpoints, as this will affect whether to use open or closed circles on the graph.
