The compound inequality that describes graph (11) is:

x ≤ -3 or x ≥ 3

The compound inequality that describes graph (12) is:

-2 ≤ x ≤ 1

Here's an explanation of how to determine the compound inequality for each graph:

Graph (11)

The graph shows two intervals where the inequality is satisfied:

All values of x less than or equal to -3

All values of x greater than or equal to 3

Therefore, the compound inequality is:

x ≤ -3 or x ≥ 3

Graph (12)

The graph shows a single interval where the inequality is satisfied:

All values of x between -2 and 1, inclusive

Therefore, the compound inequality is:

-2 ≤ x ≤ 1
