The temperature outside is initially recorded, in Fahrenheit degrees at 12:00 AM and is re-recorded at various times throughout the day. The temperature recordings are represented by the number line below.

Question

Which inequality represents the number line?
A. T (\le \) 38
B. T < 38
C. T \(\ge \) 38
D. T > 38

Answer 1

To determine the correct inequality that represents the number line you have provided, we need to know the details of the number line itself, particularly the position of the point or interval marked (or, if available, whether it is open or closed).

However, based on the typical representations of inequalities on a number line:

1. If the number line shows a closed circle at 38 with a line extending to the left, that would represent \( T \leq 38 \) or option A.
2. If there's an open circle at 38 with a line extending to the left, that would represent \( T < 38 \) or option B.
3. If there’s a closed circle at 38 with a line extending to the right, that would represent \( T \geq 38 \) or option C.
4. If there's an open circle at 38 with a line extending to the right, that would represent \( T > 38 \) or option D.

Without specific visual information, I cannot definitively tell you which inequality applies. Please provide more details or clarify the markings on your number line for a precise answer!
