The correct compound inequality that represents the phrase "All real numbers that are less than –3 or greater than or equal to 5" is:
x < –3 or x ≥ 5
The compound inequality that represents the phrase "All real numbers that are less than –3 or greater than or equal to 5" is:
x < –3 or x ≥ 5
To represent the compound inequality "all real numbers that are less than –3 or greater than or equal to 5", you need to combine the two individual inequalities using "or".
First, let's represent "less than –3" as x < –3. This means x is any real number that is smaller than –3.
Next, let's represent "greater than or equal to 5" as x ≥ 5. This means x is any real number that is equal to or larger than 5.
Now, we can combine these inequalities using "or". The correct compound inequality is:
x < –3 or x ≥ 5
