Question

Write a compound inequality that represents the statement. x is less than 4 and is at least -9

Answer 1

x is less than 4 and is at least -9

x less than 4 means

`x<4`

While x is at least -9 means

`-9\le x`

The compound inequality will be

`-9\le x<4`

Hence, the answer is

`-9\le x<4`
