what is the solution set for the inequality illustrated by a graph with an open circle endpoint at -15.33 and an arrow pointing to the left

3 answers

The description you provided indicates that the inequality is represented by an open circle at -15.33 and an arrow pointing to the left. This suggests that the values of x are less than -15.33, but not equal to -15.33 itself.

In inequality notation, this is expressed as:

\[ x < -15.33 \]

The solution set includes all real numbers that are less than -15.33. In interval notation, this can be written as:

\[ (-\infty, -15.33) \]

Thus, the solution set for the inequality is all numbers less than -15.33, denoted by \((- \infty, -15.33)\).

A. x > -15.33
B. x < -15.33

Based on your description of the graph with an open circle at -15.33 and an arrow pointing to the left, the correct interpretation of the inequality is:

B. \( x < -15.33 \)

This means that the solution set includes all numbers less than -15.33.
