Question

How to graph this?

x <-8 or x>-2

Answer 1

since the signs are greater than and less than, not the greater or equal / less or equal to signs, they're open circles. Since -8>x reads -8 GREATER than x you're gonna shade to the right . & for -2<x reads LESS than, you're gonna shade to the left.

Answer 2

no, that's not right

Answer 3

x<-8 is x is less than negative 8
and x>-2 is x is greater than -2

so it would be opposite

Answer 4

the alligator always eats the bigger number

x<-8 negative 8 is bigger than x

-2<x x is bigger than negative 2

Answer 5

hungry, hungry alligators

Answer 6

Yeah. God , I'm tired . Sorry .

Answer 7

I had to graph em in wolfram to make sure :P

Answer 8

:)

Answer 9

@MysteryOwl remember the alligators

Answer 10

@MysteryOwl Another easy trick to remember when graphing;

Extra Line = Extra Color. If it has the "or equal to" dash underneath the circle is filled in. If it doesn't have the extra dash, it's a open circle.

Answer 11

this is the answer?

Answer 12

yah. Does it make sense when you look at it? You're showing everything that is

less than -8, x<-8

and showing that

-2 is less than x -2<x

Answer 13

and make sure it's an open circle on the point, not a closed. That means something else

Answer 14

can i draw it this way?
