Graphing, look at picture for question
7>-2x+3>=-7 do you know how to solve this?
I got -2, 5 when i solved it
we want to get x alone in the middle so first we want to get rid of the 3 so -3 from all three parts of the inequality 7-3>-2x+3-3>=-7-3 4>-2x>=-10 now we want to get rid of the 2 from the middle so we will devide each part by two, but when we multiply or devide by a negative we must flip the signs of the inequality so 4/-2<-2/-2(x)<=-10/-2 -2<x<=5 so the set is (-2,5] which option is that?
o sorry I did not read that, but what is important here is that 5 is included, but -2 is not. Understand?
Yes.. so how would i know what graph it is?
@zzr0ck3r
we are saying that if we put in an x to that inequality statement, as long as that x is in the interval (-2,5] it is true, in other words all x values between -2(including -2) and 5(not including 5) the way we denote including on a graph is with a solid dot, and the way we denote not included is an open dot, so whats the answer?
It is the 1st graph?
Or the 3rd one? I'm not sure..
we said the lowest it can go is -2, so it for sure cant be anything that includes -4 and -5
So it has to be the 3rd graph right? Because that doesn't include -4
we are saying that if we put in an x to that inequality statement, as long as that x is in the interval (-2,5] it is true, in other words all x values between -2(*not including -2) and 5(*including 5) the way we denote including on a graph is with a solid dot, and the way we denote not included is an open dot, so whats the answer?
sorry i wrote that wrong the first time, i made changes at *
we want x values between -2 and 5, which graph on there has x values between -2 and 5? Dont even think about the open closed dot
yes:)
why you delete? you were right:)
