Question

HELPPPP PLEASEEE!!! I NEED HELPP

I need helppp with these turning these inequality sentences into equations!! If you can also somehow graph them too, then thank you, but it's not necessary!


1. a number x is less than 0 or at least 3

2. a number x is less than or equal to 4 and greater than -1

3. a number x is less than 8 and greater than or equal to 5


THANK YOU!!!

Answer 1

≥≤ are used when the number is less/greater or equal than some thing.

>< are used when a number is strictly less/greater than some thing.

1) a number x is less than 0 or at least 3

A number x is less than 0 is written as: x < 0.

x is at least 3 is written as: x ≥ 3.

Then we can write the statement as:

x < 0 ∨ x ≥ 3.

where ∨ means "or"

2) a number x is less than or equal to 4 and greater than -1

x less than or equal to 4 is written as: x ≤ 4

x is greater than -1 is written as: x > - 1.

We can write the statement as:

-1 < x ≤ 4

3) a number x is less than 8 and greater than or equal to 5

x is less than 8 is written as: x < 8

x is greater than or equal to 5 is written as: x ≥ 5.

Then the statement can be written as:

5 ≤ x < 8,
