1 answer

Sure! Let's represent each of the statements you provided with inequalities and determine their corresponding graphs.

1. Caleb has at least $5.

  • Inequality: \( C \geq 5 \) (where \( C \) represents the amount Caleb has)
  • Graph: The graph will show a solid dot at 5 and a line extending to the right (indicating that Caleb can have 5 or more).

2. Tarek has more than $5.

  • Inequality: \( T > 5 \) (where \( T \) represents the amount Tarek has)
  • Graph: The graph will show an open dot at 5 and a line extending to the right (indicating that Tarek has more than 5).

3. Vanessa has at most $5.

  • Inequality: \( V \leq 5 \) (where \( V \) represents the amount Vanessa has)
  • Graph: The graph will show a solid dot at 5 and a line extending to the left (indicating that Vanessa can have 5 or less).

4. Li Chen has less than $5.

  • Inequality: \( L < 5 \) (where \( L \) represents the amount Li Chen has)
  • Graph: The graph will show an open dot at 5 and a line extending to the left (indicating that Li Chen has less than 5).

Summary of the Inequalities

  1. Caleb: \( C \geq 5 \) (solid dot at 5, rightward arrow)
  2. Tarek: \( T > 5 \) (open dot at 5, rightward arrow)
  3. Vanessa: \( V \leq 5 \) (solid dot at 5, leftward arrow)
  4. Li Chen: \( L < 5 \) (open dot at 5, leftward arrow)

Note on Graphs

If you needed visual representations, you can typically represent these inequalities on a number line where:

  • Solid dots indicate included values (≥, ≤)
  • Open dots indicate excluded values (> , <)
  • Arrows indicate the direction of the values that satisfy the inequality.
