Answer:

closed circles on 1 and 4 with arrows pointing outward

Explanation:

We assume your graph is of ...

x ≤ 1 ∪ x ≥ 4

__

The inequality symbols include the "or equal to" case, so the circles at 1 and 4 will be closed.

x ≤ 1 means the arrow points left of x = 1.

x ≥ 4 means the arrow points right of x = 4.

The graph will have arrows pointing outward from the closed circles at x=1 and x=4.

___

If the graph is supposed to be that of

x ∩ x ≥ 4

then there will be no solution. No number can be both left of 1 and right of 4 on the number line.
