which numbers are marked by the red line?

fouzberzerk · Answer

85-89

vocaloid · Answer

not quite! the arrow on the red line means that it goes to the left forever

fouzberzerk · Answer

So 89-0?

vocaloid · Answer

not quite, 89 all the way to negative infinity, meaning EVERY number less than 89! (including every negative number!)

fouzberzerk · Answer

Okay so 89- -∞

vocaloid · Answer

yup, so what do you think the answer is?

fouzberzerk · Answer

C.
p > 89

vocaloid · Answer

nope, remember that all the numbers LESS than 89 are marked by the graph

fouzberzerk · Answer

Okay, so... it would be A.
89 < p

vocaloid · Answer

p must be LESS than 89

fouzberzerk · Answer
