Solve the inequality and graph the solution.

Plot the endpoints. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it.

1 answer

To solve the inequality:

\[ 1 \geq \frac{h - 2}{2} \]

First, we can eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by 2 (note that since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same):

\[ 2 \geq h - 2 \]

Next, we can add 2 to both sides of the inequality:

\[ 2 + 2 \geq h \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 4 \geq h \]

or equivalently:

\[ h \leq 4 \]

Now we interpret the inequality \( h \leq 4 \). The solution set includes all values of \( h \) that are less than or equal to 4.

Graphing the Solution

  1. Endpoints: The endpoints of the interval is at \( h = 4 \).
  2. Closed/Open Interval: Since \( h \leq 4 \) includes \( 4 \), the endpoint at \( h = 4 \) will be a closed circle.
  3. Resulting Graph:
    • Shade to the left of \( h = 4 \) to indicate all values \( h \) that are less than or equal to \( 4 \) should be included.
    • You will have a closed circle at \( h = 4 \).

Conclusion

The solution is:

\[ (-\infty, 4] \]

Where \( 4 \) is included in the solution set. The graphical representation will include a closed circle at \( h = 4 \), and the shading will extend to the left, indicating all values up to and including \( 4 \).
