which statement is true about the number of solutions to an inequality?

Question

given:
it depends where you start on the number line
it depends how far you draw the number line
it is always infinite
it depends which inequality symbol you use

Answer 1

The statement that is true about the number of solutions to an inequality is:

"It depends which inequality symbol you use."

Different inequality symbols (like <, >, ≤, ≥) can lead to different number of solutions, as they define different ranges of values that satisfy the inequality. For example, the inequality \( x > 2 \) has all values greater than 2 as solutions (infinitely many), while \( x = 2 \) has only one solution (the number 2 itself).
