Math Problem Statement
Write An inequality to describe each of the following graphs;then write An equivalente negated inequality
Solution
The number line graph you provided shows a range between two points:
- The range starts at (closed dot) and goes to (open dot).
- The arrow heads indicate the inequality involves numbers between and .
1. The Inequality:
Since the graph shows that is included (closed dot) and is not included (open dot), the inequality describing this is: This inequality describes the set of numbers between (inclusive) and (exclusive).
2. The Negated Inequality:
The negation of the inequality involves values outside the range from to . Negating gives: This is because the negation means the values are either less than or greater than or equal to .
Would you like any further explanation on inequalities or negations? Here are five related questions you might explore:
- How do you represent an inequality on a number line when both endpoints are inclusive?
- How do you negate a compound inequality involving "or" statements?
- Can you solve real-life problems using inequalities?
- What are the differences between strict and non-strict inequalities?
- How does interval notation correspond to inequality notation?
Tip: When solving inequalities, always remember to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
