Question

Choose the inequality that matches the graph below.

number line with an open circle on -1 with shading to the left and an open circle on 3 with shading to the right.

x less than or greater to -1 or x > 3

x < -1 and x > 3

x < -1 or x > 3

x less than or greater to -1 and x greater than or equal to 3

THIS ONE IS REALLY CONFUSING

Answer 1

"open circle" = no "or greater" part
"-1 with shading to the left" means x < -1
"3 with shading to the right" means x > 3
and because they (in the actual graph) do not over lap, it is an "or" statement
so you get x < -1 or x > 3
