Q:

The number line below represents which combined inequality? number line with a closed circle on -4, shading to the left and a closed circle on 3, shading to the right x greater than or equal to -4 and x less than or greater to 3 x greater than or equal to -4 or x less than or greater to 3 x less than or greater to -4 and x greater than or equal to 3 x less than or greater to -4 or x greater than or equal to 3

Accepted Solution

A:
It is stated that their are closed circles on -4 and 3. This means, both -4 and 3 are also included in the interval.

The following regions are included in the range:

a) -4 
b) Numbers between -4 and 3
c) 3
d) Numbers greater than 3

So, the number line represents:
x greater than or equal to -4 and x less than or greater to 3.

Therefore, the first option gives the correct combined inequality.
