Which graph on the number line represents VARIABLE_NAME REL SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
?
First, draw a number line with at least a few numbers on each side of SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
.
Since VARIABLE_NAME REL SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
, draw a full circle at SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
to show that the inequality includes SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
.
Since VARIABLE_NAME REL SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
, draw an empty circle at SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
to show that the inequality does not include SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
.
Now draw an arrow to the left of the circle to include all numbers less than SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
.
Now draw an arrow to the right of the circle to include all numbers greater than SIGN + ( INT + FRAC )
.
This looks like it matches the arrow and circle from Graph LINE_SOLUTION above.
Determine the inequality represented by this graph on the number line:
VARIABLE_NAME
REL
SIGN + INT
The arrow is pointing to the left of SIGN + INT
, so everything less than SIGN + INT
is included.
The arrow is pointing to the right of SIGN + INT
, so everything greater than SIGN + INT
is included.
The circle is filled in, so SIGN + INT
itself is also included.
The circle is not filled in, so SIGN + INT
itself is not included.
The graph represents VARIABLE_NAME RELSIGN + INT
