Question

Which of the following represents the inequality for the sentence "A number x is at least -3 and at most 9"?

A) x ≥ -3 and x ≤ 9
B) x ≤ -3 and x ≥ 9
C) x ≥ -3 or x ≤ 9
D) x ≤ -3 or x ≥ 9

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A) x ≥ -3 and x ≤ 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option A) x ≥ -3 and x ≤ 9.

This represents the inequality for the sentence 'A number x is at least -3 and at most 9.'

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to,' and the symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to.'

By combining these symbols, we can represent the range of values for x that satisfy the given sentence.

Therefore, the correct inequality is x ≥ -3 and x ≤ 9.
