Question

A number line extends from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1.

To indicate the solution for x ≥ − 1 and x < 4 where would you place circles on the graph? Enter the lesser value first.

__ and __

Answer 1

On the number line, to indicate the solution for \( x \geq -1 \) and \( x < 4 \):

1. For \( x \geq -1 \): You would place a closed circle at -1 to indicate that -1 is included in the solution set.
2. For \( x < 4 \): You would place an open circle at 4 to indicate that 4 is not included in the solution set.

So the answer would be:

-1 and 4
