Transcript text: Consider the following subset of the real number line.
How can this set be expressed using inequalities?
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the endpoints
The endpoints of the highlighted section of the number line are -2 and 5. The endpoint at -2 is a closed circle which signifies that -2 is included in the interval. The endpoint at 5 is an open circle, so 5 is not included in the interval.
Step 2: Write the compound inequality
The highlighted numbers are greater than or equal to -2 and less than 5. So, the compound inequality is:
