Question

hero · Answer

If x is between two numbers a and b, then a < x < b

anonymous · Answer

what does that mean

hero · Answer

a < x < b is a compound inequality. Also a < b

I'm giving you a more general explanation of how it works.

hero · Answer

Okay, if you understand it now, @Cweezie23, what is the correct compound inequality?

anonymous · Answer

-4<x<-6

hero · Answer

I thought the two numbers were -4 and 6

anonymous · Answer

oh yah i meant -4<x<6

hero · Answer

Okay, but just for future reference, in case you run across a situation where you have to write an inequality when x is between -6 and -4 you write

-6 < x < -4

If at any time you are confused, make a number line.

hero · Answer

-6 < -4
