Answer 1

Shade in the part which corresponds to values which satisfy the inequalities.

Answer 2

Though n can't be in both of those regions simultaneously, so it really should say "or" instead of "and"

Answer 3

Indeed.

Answer 4

Meh, details, details . .

Answer 5

I know this is beside the point, but your name looks suspiciously like a pun.

Answer 6

Shouldn't the answer be open circle on negative 5, shading to the left; and open circle on -3, shading to the right?

Answer 7

@Cheese3.1416 , I might be able to say the same about yours.
;-)

@aadsadsf , yes, that is correct.

Answer 8

What the hell? I answered that but i got it wrong

Answer 9

Hmm..

*shrug* I don't know how else to interpret that.

Answer 10

Are you sure you got the inequality signs correct, @aadsadsf ?

Answer 11

if it is truly an "AND" instead of an "OR", it's possible the problem is trying to get you to answer that there is no solution... no point is both less than -5 AND greater than -3.

But that would be a weird question, in my opinion.

Answer 12

^ agreed.
That AND is suspicious.

Answer 13

Here is the exact question copy and pasted from the website "Which of the following is the correct graph of the compound inequality n > −3 and n < −5?".

Answer 14

There is one answer with nothing on the graph, I guess that could be no solution

Answer 15

If that is the correct problem statement, then a blank graph is most appropriate.

Answer 16

@JakeV8 I was thinking that but there was this thing that was on one of the lessons that had a scenario in which the lines were not connected

Answer 17

ohhhhhhhhhhhh, apparently that was under disjunctions, I could have sworn i was under conjunctions

Answer 18

Wooow that makes a lot more sense

Answer 19

If it is a divergent graph (lines not connected), then it is an OR situation.
n cannot be both less than -5 and greater than -3 at the same time as Jakev8 said.

Answer 20

yes, if the question says graph f(x) where f(x) = x < -5, x > -3, then the earlier graph with the two open circles is correct.

Are you copying the equation exactly into this problem? Some of these problems have vague wording (or even misleading wording)... maybe if we saw the exact problem, we could mind-read the author.

Answer 21

Yeah I got it, I was just looking in the wrong place

Answer 22

But that's still kind of a BS question

Answer 23

Yeah, it's to make sure you're paying attention to the details, details . .
