Question

Explain, in complete sentences, when you would use an open circle or a closed circle, and when you would shade to the right or left, to graph an inequality on the number line.
@ParthKohli

Answer 1

To graph an inequality, a closed circle represents that the number is not part of the solution. An open circle will be used if the inequality has a < or a >. A closed circle represents that the number is part of the solution. A closed circle will be used when an <= sigh or => are used.(there has to be an equal sign) If a number is less then, the shading will go to the left,whereas, if the number is more then, shading will go towards the right.

Answer 2

Answer 3

ok tyvm

Answer 4

your welcome :)

Answer 5

Answer 6

Hey, Kellie... my teacher says make it so that the variable is to the left of the inequality and if the 'arrow points left', shade to the left, and if the 'arrow points right', shade to the right...
For instance
x > 3
Shade everything to the right of 3 :D
Not really the proper way to say it, but meh :>

Answer 7

So how should it be done?

Answer 8

As @kelliegirl33 did :)

Answer 9

otay

Answer 10

If x is greater then, shade to the right, and if x is less then, shade to the left. You use an open circle if there is no equal sign. If there is an equal sign, use a closed circle.
