graph The real numbers greater than or equal to 5 or less than or equal to -5

Question

I need help on putting this onto a number line

 

Answer 1

Hi Taylor,

 

Please click this link (https://dl.dropbox.com/s/5htjcducedholo5/Number_Line.png?raw=1) to view our number line showing the compound inequality:  x <= -5 or x >= 5.

 

Note that the boundary values (-5) and (5) contain closed circles to show that these values are included in the solution sets for the given inequalities.

 

Had our given compound inequality been:

    x < -5 or x > 5

 

Then the boundary values (-5) and (5) would have contained open circles to show that these values are not included in the solution sets for these inequalities.

 

Thanks for submitting this problem and glad to help.

 

God bless, Jordan.
