write a compound inequality that represents the sentence below. A quantity x Is either less than four or greater than 27

Answer 1

The compound inequality that represents the sentence "A quantity \( x \) is either less than four or greater than 27" can be expressed as:

\[ x < 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 27 \]

This indicates that \( x \) can either be less than 4 or greater than 27.

Answer 2

How would I type that

Answer 3

You can type the compound inequality using standard mathematical symbols. Here’s how you can write it:

1. Using plain text format:

   x < 4 or x > 27
   

2. If you're using a math typesetting system like LaTeX, you can write it like this:

   x < 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 27
   

In both formats, the expression clearly conveys the compound inequality you want to represent.
