Do you see that the numbers are between -4 and 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah..... @Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So let's put x between -4 and 2: -4 x 2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Would -4 be less than the numbers or greater than the numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

less than

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then we should show that: -4 < x 2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Would x be less than 2 or greater than 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

less than

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then we should show that: -4 <x < 2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now about those dots. What does the closed dot on -4 mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its included

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So we need to include the -4 by putting in the equal to part:\[-4\le x < 2\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And since the dot on the 2 is open, it is not included and we are done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow..... that was very simple! Thank you so much!
