To solve the inequality \( 2(g - 1) \geq 6 \), follow these steps:
-
Distribute the 2: \[ 2g - 2 \geq 6 \]
-
Add 2 to both sides: \[ 2g \geq 8 \]
-
Divide both sides by 2: \[ g \geq 4 \]
So the solution to the inequality is \( g \geq 4 \).
Graphing the solution:
-
Endpoints: The endpoint for \( g = 4 \) is included (since the inequality is greater than or equal to), so we plot this as a closed point at \( g = 4 \).
-
Ray: The solution also indicates that all values greater than 4 are part of the solution. We will represent this as a ray extending to the right from the point \( g = 4 \).
Final Graphic Representation:
- Plot a closed dot at \( g = 4 \) (indicating that 4 is included in the solution).
- Draw a ray extending to the right from this point, representing all values greater than 4.
Summary of the Graph:
- Closed dot on \( g = 4 \).
- Ray extending to the right (toward infinity).
This completes the solution of the inequality \( 2(g - 1) \geq 6 \).
