Question

Can someone help me. (without giving me the answer). Choose the inequality that matches the graph below. (number line with an open circle on -3 shading to the left, and a closed circle on 5 shading to the right).
x -3 and x > 5

x < -3 or x 5

x < -3 or x > 5

x < -3 and x 5

Answer 1

Open circle usually means that number is not included in the set, closed that it is. So you should have x >= 5.
Is there a typo in the Q?

Answer 2

x < -3 or x >= 5

Answer 3

??

Answer 4

I believe you mistyped the last question, or its a misprint. The correct answer includes x = 5 and numbers greater than 5, with something else as well. Do you see why?

Answer 5

do u mean .
x <= -3 and x > 5

x < -3 or x >=5

x < -3 or x > 5

x < -3 and x >=5

Answer 6

That's better, except B and D are identical. Probably one doesn't have the = sign in it?

Answer 7

well the difference is the (and) (or)

Answer 8

Well, you said not to give you the answer, but I'm going to do just that. Because the number line has an open circle on -3 and shading to the left, that means x < -3. OK?
Because the line has a closed circle on 5 and shading to the right that means x >= 5.
So you have to combine these statements.

Answer 9

Oh… I see. Yes it's or.

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

so its B?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

ok Thanks
