What are the two types of compound inequalities? Give an example of each?

For example, x > 6 or x < 2. The solution to this compound inequality is all the values of x in which x is either greater than 6 or x is less than 2. You can show this graphically by putting the graphs of each inequality together on the same number line.

The graph has an open circle on 6 and a blue arrow to the right and another open circle at 2 and a red arrow to the left. In fact, the only parts that are not a solution to this compound inequality are the points 2 and 6 and all the points in between these values on the number line. Everything else on the graph is a solution to this compound inequality.

Let’s look at another example of an or compound inequality, x > 3 or x 4. The graph of x > 3 has an open circle on 3 and a blue arrow drawn to the right to contain all the numbers greater than 3.

okay plz tell me if you need more help

Hello There!

Two types of compound inequalities are:
A sentence with two inequalities joined by And.
A sentence with two inequalities joined by Or.

An example of one with And:
5x - 3 < 12 AND 4x + 1 > 25

An example of one with Or:
x - 5 > 0 OR 3x - 1 < 8.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
