Question

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality
x - 3 < -11 or x + 5 ≥ 14

Answer 1

A number line with a closed circle on -8, shading to the left, and an open circle on 9, shading to the right.

A number line with an open circle on -8, a closed circle on 9, and shading in between.

A number line with an open circle on -8, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 9, shading to the right.

A number line with a closed circle on -8, an open circle on 9, and shading in between.

Answer 2

solve x - 3 < -11 for x and tell me what you get

Answer 3

um...x<-8

Answer 4

good

Answer 5

how about x + 5 ≥ 14

Answer 6

x≥9

Answer 7

good

Answer 8

so x<-8 and x≥9

Answer 9

what would the graph of that look like

Answer 10

...

Answer 11

do it in pieces

Answer 12

what would the graph of x < -8 look like ?

Answer 13

9 is closed circle with arrow pointing to the right ?

Answer 14

x < -8 means you have an open circle at -8

then you shade to the left

Answer 15

x ≥ 9 means you have a closed circle at 9, then you shade to the right

Answer 16

so combine these two graphs to get _______

Answer 17

A number line with a closed circle on -8, shading to the left, and an open circle on 9, shading to the right.

Answer 18

you have it backwards when it comes to the open and closed circles

Answer 19

this then? A number line with a closed circle on -8, an open circle on 9, and shading in between.

Answer 20

this:

A number line with an open circle on -8, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 9, shading to the right.
