Answer 1

To represent the inequality for students needing to score more than 52 points to qualify for the math course, you can express it mathematically as \( x > 52 \).

To graph this inequality:

1. **Draw a number line.**
2. **Identify the point corresponding to 52.**
3. **Since the inequality is strictly greater than (indicated by the ">" sign), place an open circle at the point 52 to signify that this score is not included.**
4. **Shade or draw a ray extending to the right from the open circle at 52.** This indicates all possible scores greater than 52.

So for your selection:
- Use **Open Segment** on the left at 52 (the open circle).
- Use **Rightward ray** starting from 52 to indicate all scores greater than 52.

This will effectively communicate the requirement for students to possess scores above 52 to take the course.
