Math Problem Statement
Directions: A) write each interval as an inequality (SHOW ALL WORK) B) then graph the solutions 10. (-infinity symbol, 2] 11. (-infinity symbol, -1] or (3, infinity symbol)
Solution
Let's tackle the given intervals step by step.
10. Interval:
Part A: Write as an Inequality
- The interval means all values less than or equal to 2.
- In inequality form:
Part B: Graph the Solution
- How to graph :
- Draw a number line.
- Mark on the line and use a filled circle to show that is included (due to the sign).
- Shade everything to the left of to indicate all values less than or equal to .
11. Interval: or
Part A: Write as an Inequality
-
The first interval means all values less than or equal to .
In inequality form:
-
The second interval means all values greater than .
In inequality form:
-
Combine these two using "or":
Part B: Graph the Solution
- How to graph or :
- Draw a number line.
- For :
- Mark with a filled circle (since is included) and shade everything to the left of .
- For :
- Mark with an open circle (since is not included) and shade everything to the right of .
