Graphing Inequalities and Circles

The video tutorial covers graphing inequalities, focusing on when to use open or closed circles. It explains that for 'x is less than three', an open circle is used, while for 'x is greater than or equal to negative two', a closed circle is used. The tutorial also covers 'x is less than or equal to four', emphasizing the use of a closed circle. The concept of the 'alligator' eating the larger number is used as a mnemonic to help understand inequality symbols.

When graphing the inequality 'x < 3', what type of circle should be used on the number line?

• Closed circle

• No circle

• Open circle

• Shaded circle
