Choose the compound inequality that represents each phrase.
all real numbers that are less than –3 or greater than or equal to 5
A. x < –3 or x > 5
B. x < 5 or x > –3****
C. x < –3 or x > 5
D. x < –3 or x < 5
For "greater than or equal to" you need ≥
so....
x < –3 or x ≥ 5
Btw, Ms Sue is no longer with us, unfortunately she passed away late last year.
We all miss her
ms.sue is not dead. don't talk about my daughter like that.
Thank you Mr. Reiny
To choose the compound inequality that represents the given phrase, "all real numbers that are less than –3 or greater than or equal to 5," we can break it down into two separate inequalities and then combine them using the logical operator "or".
The first part of the phrase, "all real numbers that are less than –3," can be represented as x < –3.
The second part of the phrase, "greater than or equal to 5," can be represented as x ≥ 5.
To combine these two inequalities, we use the "or" operator, which means that either condition can be true. Therefore, the correct compound inequality is:
x < –3 or x ≥ 5.
Among the given options, the correct answer is B. x < 5 or x > –3.
