Math Problem Statement
Complete the inequality for each number line by choosing the correct inequality symbol.
Solution
From the image, we need to match the appropriate inequality symbol for each given situation based on the number lines.
Breakdown of each case:
-
Top line:
- The number line shows a filled circle at , meaning includes , and the arrow extends to the left. This represents .
-
Second line:
- The number line shows an open circle at , meaning does not include , and the arrow extends to the right. This represents .
-
Third line:
- The number line has a filled circle at and an open circle at , meaning is in the range .
-
Fourth line:
- The number line has a filled circle at and a filled circle at , meaning is in the range .
