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.

1 answer

To indicate the solution for \( x \geq -1 \) and \( x < 4 \) on a number line:

  1. For \( x \geq -1 \): You would place a closed circle at -1, indicating that -1 is included in the solution (since it is greater than or equal to -1).

  2. For \( x < 4 \): You would place an open circle at 4, indicating that 4 is not included in the solution (since it is less than 4).

So, to summarize, you would place:

  • A closed circle at -1
  • An open circle at 4

You would enter the lesser value first, so the answer is: -1, 4
