Let's express each statement provided in your practice using inequalities and then represent them graphically.

Inequalities Pair Practice

  1. Caleb has at least $5.

    • Inequality: \( C \geq 5 \) (where \( C \) is the amount of money Caleb has)
    • Graph: Solid dot at 5 and an arrow extending to the right.
  2. Tarek has more than $5.

    • Inequality: \( T > 5 \) (where \( T \) is the amount of money Tarek has)
    • Graph: Open dot at 5 and an arrow extending to the right.
  3. Vanessa has at most $5.

    • Inequality: \( V \leq 5 \) (where \( V \) is the amount of money Vanessa has)
    • Graph: Solid dot at 5 and an arrow extending to the left.
  4. Li Chen has less than $5.

    • Inequality: \( L < 5 \) (where \( L \) is the amount of money Li Chen has)
    • Graph: Open dot at 5 and an arrow extending to the left.

Summary of Inequalities and Graphs

  • For Caleb: \( C \geq 5 \) (⎷)
  • For Tarek: \( T > 5 \) (⎶)
  • For Vanessa: \( V \leq 5 \) (⎷)
  • For Li Chen: \( L < 5 \) (⎶)

Graphical Representation

For the graphical representation, you could illustrate each on a number line:

Number Line Representation:

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
  0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10

Caleb:  ●==================================== (C >= 5)
Tarek:     ●--------------------------------- (T > 5)
Vanessa:  ●---------------------------------- (V <= 5)
Li Chen:     ●-------------------------------- (L < 5)

In this representation:

  • The solid dot (●) indicates that the endpoint is included in the inequality (≥ and ≤).
  • The open dot (○) indicates that the endpoint is not included ( > and <).
