Question

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you can use the equation editor, or you can draw the problem

also, you can attach the image of the problem (screenshot or camera shot of the problem)

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \le x \le 0$$ How do I solve this?

anonymous · Answer

Oh, that's a negative 1/2!

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so 

$$\Large -\frac{1}{2} \le x \le 0$$

right?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, sorry for the mistake!

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

it's ok

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so what do you need to do with this inequality?

jdoe0001 · Answer

looks to me it doesn't need solving

anonymous · Answer

It's asking me to Choose the correct absolute value inequality and graph for the solution.

anonymous · Answer

I can't screen shot though...

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

it's too big to screenshot?

anonymous · Answer

No, I just can't figure out how to screen shot with a mac.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ok we can look through these choices and find the proper graph to start off

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

how do we graph 

$$\Large -\frac{1}{2} \le x \le 0$$

what's it going to look like on a number line?

anonymous · Answer

I don't understand what to do with the fraction or how to distribute.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

$$\Large -\frac{1}{2} \le x \le 0$$

means that x is between -1/2 and 0 (including both endpoints)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

how do we represent that on a number line?

anonymous · Answer

Well, one dot one on half and another on zero, both meeting at -1/2?
