Question

Consider the inequality b > -2, Which of the following best describes the values of b that are solutions of the inequality?

A) Any value that is less than or equal to -2.
B) Any value that is less than -2.
C) Any value that is greater than or equal to -2.
D) Any value that is greater than -2.

Answer 1

The values of b that are solutions of the inequality b > -2 are any value that is greater than -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality b > -2 represents all values of b that are greater than -2. Since the inequality is strictly greater than, the solution does not include -2 itself. Therefore, the correct answer is D) Any value that is greater than -2. For example, b = 0, b = 5, and b = 100 are all solutions to the inequality.
