Math Problem Statement
Which inequality matches the graph?
Solution
The graph shows a number line with a filled circle at 4 and an arrow extending to the right. This indicates that the solution set includes the number 4 and all numbers greater than 4.
To match this graph with an inequality:
- The filled circle at 4 means 4 is included in the solution (so it must be "greater than or equal to").
- The arrow to the right indicates that the numbers are greater than 4.
Therefore, the correct inequality that matches this graph is A. .
Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are some related questions to explore:
- How would the graph change if the inequality was ?
- What does an open circle on a graph represent in an inequality?
- How can you graph on a number line?
- How do you solve an inequality like ?
- How can you verify the solution to an inequality graphically?
Tip: Always remember, a filled circle means the value is included (≥ or ≤), while an open circle means it is not included (> or <).
