Answer:
a) -2 -< x-< 2
b) -1 < x and < 2
Explanation:
We use -< as the numbers are included in the solution being -2 and 2
We use < as the numbers are less than -1 and 2
You know the difference i just couldn't copy and paste the inequalities for a).
They face the same way I have shown.
If the line on the number line were not central to 2 numbers and separate then they would face the opposite way and show two inequalities and we refer to that as or, but both of these mean and. they mean and as the line joins them together on each number line, the only difference is an open circle means the numbers are not inclusive so we dont enhance the arrow for non inclusive, when a) is inclusive we put a line underneath the arrow and still face them the left side as x shows the relationship of being inclusive still the same. a) has a line under the arrow i just couldn't show and hope you see the difference as we only use two types of arrows.
