does the question actually put it this way or use arrows?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
arrows i just dont know to to do it on a computer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like < or > with line under them
Parth (parthkohli):
Cannot be determined because there's a contradiction.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it looks like this
\[-2, x > -3\]
\[4x, -3 \ge x \ge -1\]
\[x^2, x < -1\]

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no the middle two arrows are greater than < <
OpenStudy (anonymous):
with a line under it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
One of those arrows are not right because -2 is both greater than -3 and less than -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
last arrow is >

first arrow <
second arrows both < < with lines under them
third arrow is >
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay the big side (open side) of an arrow always opens on the bigger quantity so what you are describing reads as -3 is less than x which is less than -1
