Question

what would x < -1 look like graphed

Answer 1

you'd essentially be graphinng x = -1
that is
\(\begin{array}{llll}
y = \pm 10& x = -3\\
y = \pm 100& x = -3\\
y = \pm 1000& x = -3\\
y = \pm 10000& x = -3\\
y = \pm \infty& x = -3\\

\end{array}\)

Answer 2

-3? where the heck? anyhow, lemme rewrite that

Answer 3

x = -1 \(\begin{array}{llll}
y = \pm 10& x = -1\\
y = \pm 100& x = -1\\
y = \pm 1000& x = -1\\
y = \pm 10000& x = -1\\
y = \pm \infty& x = -1\\

\end{array}\)

Answer 4

Ok how would that look graphed ?

Answer 5

well, let's pick 2 points... + 10 and -10 for "y", x = -1 so draw a line through those 2 points, and see how it looks like

Answer 6

Actually, I'm looking for a different graph. Idk what it's called but I think it would look like this
--------------(-)--------->
4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4

Answer 7

@mikaa_toxica13
it's called a number line.

Answer 8

ohh interval number line
well

then x < -1, on the negative side, the closer you're to 0(zero), the greater the number
thus -2 is greater than -3 and -5
-5 is greater than -11 and so on

x < -1 notice the \(\bf less\) sign, "x" is not equal to -1, it's just less, so it has an open-hole at -1

Answer 9

so it'd be \(\Large (-\infty\quad, \quad -1)\)

Answer 10

So if it were less than or equal too it would be a closed hole ?

Answer 11

yeap, because then, x will be less than and also \(\bf equals\) to -1, the equality part, makes the interval \(\bf include\) the -1 as well

Answer 12

ok so what if it was x < -4
it would be an open hole at -4 and an arrow going towards the 0 all the way past 4, or jus to the 0 ?

Answer 13

well, on the negative side, the closer to the 0, the bigger the number
so -4 is greater than -5, -6, and onwards

-4 is lesser than -3,
-3 is lesser than -2

that's the negative side

so the arrow and thickened line will go to the left side of -4, towards \(\large -\infty\)

Answer 14

so it would be
<-(-)-----------------
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4

Answer 15

yeap

Answer 16

ok thanks !! ♥
