What do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

a

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the circle is open. what does that tell us?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The red line indicates the possible values of x, and they are all above -2 so a is not correct.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So it's b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is B, but I think that was a lucky guess as you picked A for two wrong reasons - you've only corrected one reason since deciding it's B. As @AriPotta was saying, what does the open circle tell us?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no..the open circle indicates that's going to be either > or <. but the graph tells us that all the possible values of x are than -2, as tom982 just said. x < -2 means that x is less than -2. the answer is x > -2

OpenStudy (aripotta):

greater than** -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, completely misread the answers, I meant to say C.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

:)

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

wait isn't it inequality?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes inequalities have <, >, \[\le \] or \[\ge\]

OpenStudy (aripotta):

when the circle is open, it's going to be < or >

OpenStudy (aripotta):

when the circle is closed, it's going to be \[\le\] or \[\ge\]

OpenStudy (aripotta):

since the circle is open, and the arrow is going to the right, our inequality will be > make sense?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

yeah

OpenStudy (aripotta):

cool
