jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to even do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the difference between > < and ones with lines under it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just like an open and closed circle whats the difference

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when you have an inequality sign that has an underline under it, that means you are including the endpoint so you'll have a closed circle at the endpoint

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you do NOT have an underline, then you do NOT include the endpoint open circles are used at the endpoint in this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so open circles are >< without lines under right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

< means you shade to the left (less than the endpoint) > means you shade to the right (greater than the endpoint)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whatever way the sign is thats the way you shade the line?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes that is correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for instance, x < 2 means you shade to the left of 2 (open circle) you go left because numbers like 0 and 1 are to left of 2 and they make x < 2 true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whichever way it points not opens is the way you shade? or the opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh never mind i read that wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait actually i dont know haha im confused

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah that could be a way to think of it < points left so you shade left > points right, shade right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the variable has to be on the left side everytime though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it c?
