Solve the inequality and graph the solution.
b
2
–1<1
To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.
To solve the inequality -1 < 1, we can see that the inequality is true for all values of b since -1 is less than 1. Therefore, the solution to the inequality is b ∈ ℝ, which means b can take any real value.
To graph the solution, we can draw a number line and label it with the values of b. Since b can take any real value, we will draw an arrow that extends to the right and label it with the infinity symbol (∞) to indicate that b can be infinitely large positive numbers.
