Math Problem Statement

Analyze the interval represented on the number line and provide the corresponding interval notation.

Solution

The image you provided appears to show a number line with a shaded interval and some associated mathematical notation. Let me analyze and interpret the content for you.

  1. Number Line Analysis:

    • The number line spans from 6-6 to 66.
    • There is a red shaded interval that starts at 2-2 and ends at 44.
    • The interval seems to be closed at 2-2 (indicated by a filled circle) and open at 44 (indicated by an open circle).
  2. Mathematical Expression:

    • Below the number line, there's likely an inequality or an interval notation that describes the shaded region on the number line.
    • It seems to represent the interval [2,4)[-2, 4), which means it includes all numbers xx where 2x<4-2 \leq x < 4.
  3. Conclusion:

    • The interval notation corresponding to the shaded region is [2,4)[-2, 4).
    • The inequality form for the interval could be written as 2x<4-2 \leq x < 4.

Would you like more details on any specific part of this analysis? Here are some related questions you might consider:

  1. How can you convert between interval notation and inequalities?
  2. What does it mean for an interval to be open or closed?
  3. How do you graph different types of intervals on a number line?
  4. Can you solve equations involving inequalities?
  5. How do you combine multiple inequalities or intervals?

Tip: When interpreting number lines and intervals, always pay close attention to whether the circles are open or closed, as this determines whether the endpoints are included or excluded in the interval.
