Question

Choose the inequality that matches the graph below.

Answer 1

You know what the shaded circle and the unshaded circle mean?

Answer 2

x greater than or equal to -1 or x < 6

x > -1 and x less than or greater to 6

x < -1 or x greater than or equal to 6

x greater than or equal to -1 and x < 6

Answer 3

Not exactly

Answer 4

\[-1\le x < 6\]

Answer 5

Well, there's your answer right there. ^
You might be interested in how to get there, though...

Answer 6

wat option is da?

Answer 7

because the shaded circle is on -1, \[-1 \le x\] because the unshaded circle is on 6,\[x < 6\]

Answer 8

The shaded circle means inclusive... in your specific example, it means the number -1 is also included. Normally, this just means you use the ≥ or ≤ symbols.

The unshaded circle means 'not including', in your specific example, it means the number 6 is not included, but everything before it, is. This means at this part, you use the < or > symbols.

Answer 9

therefore \[-1 \le x < 6\]

Answer 10

wat option is da?

Answer 11

Not a post at the same time!

Answer 12

Another!

Answer 13

So, stuff to the RIGHT of -1 is included, with -1 itself included (as the circle is shaded)
so you have
x ≥ -1
stuff to the LEFT of 6 is included, but 6 is with the UNSHADED circle, means 6 itself is not included, so you have
x < 6
