Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'.

Front

How do you represent the inequality r ≥ -6 on a number line?

Back

You place a closed dot on -6 and shade to the right.

Front

What does the inequality 6 > x mean?

Back

It means that x is less than 6.

Front

How do you graph the inequality x < 4?

Back

You place an open dot on 4 and shade to the left.

Front

What is the difference between a closed dot and an open dot on a graph?

Back

A closed dot indicates that the number is included (≤ or ≥), while an open dot indicates it is not included (< or >).

Front

What inequality does the graph with a closed dot at 4 and shading to the left represent?

Back

The inequality x ≤ 4.

Front

If a graph shows shading to the right from -4, what inequality does it represent?

Back

The inequality x ≥ -4.

Front

What does the inequality x < -4 mean?

Back

It means that x is less than -4.
